DEPOWDERING THE PART
1. Place parts inside the depowdering unit.
2. Using the compressed air system included in the
depowdering station, remove any excess powder that
remains on the part.
TECHNICAL TIPS….
The air pressure on your depowdering station is adjustable.
For bulky parts, turn the air pressure up. For more delicate
parts, turn the air pressure down.
DRYING THE PART
To infiltrate parts with wax, the parts must be hot and dry. Preheat part at 165
o
F (or 74
o
C) in a Z Corp. waxing
system or in a drying oven. Remember that drying time and part wall thickness are directly related. If the average
wall thickness is ¼” (6.35 mm), then the part should be in the drying oven for 30 minutes. If average wall
thickness is ½” (12.7 mm) inch, the part should be in the drying oven for 45 minutes. Use the chart below as a
guide.
Average Wall Thickness Drying Time
1/8 inch (3.175 mm) 15 minutes
1/4 inch (6.35 mm) 30 minute
1/2 inch (12.7 mm) 45 minutes
1 inch or greater (25.4 mm) 90 minutes
