Gold Star Ultima, Gold Star XL and Gold Star 21 have been specifically designed to withstand the most punishing ‘burnout’ cycles without detriment to the finished castings. The steam release and thermal shock resistance characteristics of Gold Star Ultima, Gold Star XL and Gold Star 21 enable complete cycles to be achieved in 6 hours or less as shown in the example. Limiting factors to the speed at which burnout can be achieved are the heat output of the furnace used and the number and size of flasks in any one firing.
