Abstract

The effects of loading the wax pattern before investment was determined. Various loads were placed on the pattern after its margin was remodeled. The patterns were replaced on the die with a load of 50 gm before investment. For loads of 0, 250, and 1000 gm, the average elevation of the pattern on the die was found to be greater by 29, 56, and 19 μm, respectively, than before removal from the die. Repetitive loading showed that the plastic deformation in wax was less in the second than in the first cycle for a specific load. This decrease in plastic deformation may explain the improved adaptation of the pattern after a load of 1000 gm.
