Tech/Engineering - Medical: Dentistry / Casting Muffles | | German term or phrase: 9-fach Muffel | "Bei einer ***9-fach-Muffel*** werden 450 gr Pulver und 99 ml Flüssigkeit benötigt.
Sobald die Muffel soweit gefüllt ist, daß die Gußobjekte fast bedeckt sind, wird weitere Einbettmasse nur noch sehr langsam zugefügt."
From a text about dental precision casting. I haven't the faintest idea what is meant by "9-fach Muffel". The best I can guess is size 9 muffle or muffle with 9 trays or compartments. Hope someone here has a better idea than I do! TIA for your help. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseRowan Morrell (asker): 5:03am Oct 12, 2004: A little more context - From a couple of paragraphs down:
"Die Aufheizzeit einer ***9-fach-Muffel*** beträgt insgesamt etwa 200 Minuten."
Does that trigger any extra ideas?
I'm extremely doubtful about "9-part", especially when no credible references or explanations are provided. Please, someone answer who has SOME knowledge of this subject! You don't really need to know about dentistry, just a basic understanding of casting will do!
Rowan Morrell (asker): 6:57am Oct 12, 2004: Come on, come on - The lack of decent answers here is really frustrating. :-(
Rowan Morrell (asker): 7:31am Oct 12, 2004: Aha! - Yes, "Size 9 muffle" just might be it! Nice one Jill! Now we're cooking! Thanks! :-)

| Note from asker to answererThis seems by far the most likely solution, in view of that earlier question and the references you provided. So thanks Jill - you've saved the day here! But thanks anyway to JM Simon as well for having a go. Appreciate everyone's efforts.
