Abstract
An improved phosphate-type refractory investment material and method for marking solid investment molds especially useful for casting high melting point metals and alloys, such as platinum and the like. The material consists essentially of one or more phosphate salts, one or more water soluble organic acids, and refractory powder. The material can be prepared as a dry powder blend which is easily shipped to the user and mixed with water at the time of investing the flask. Alternatively, the salt and/or organic acid can be combined with the refractory powder at the time of mixing with water.
