A test pattern composed of 14 gauge sprue wax and various gauges of nylon lines was constructed, and used to differentiate the castability of several alloys. The castability of seven commercial low gold content alloys for porcelain fused to metal restorations was compared. Five commercial low gold content yellow alloys for full cast restorations were compared to each other and to a Type III certified control.
