[Thermoanalytical studies on gypsum- and phosphate-bonded casting investments]

The two test series were carried out with the dilatometer TMA 500 (of Haereus company). The measurements for thermic expansion are easily reproducible, not so for setting expansion. The recorded setting expansion values are identical with the manufacturers' data given for Luster Cast, Aurovest, and Deguvest HFG, among the thermic expansion values only those for Luster Cast are in line with the data given; the values given for Bayer DC are most different from those we found.
