Advantages of Ceramic Molding
The main advantages of ceramic molds are: a reusable pattern (the item used to create the shape of the mold) excellent surface finish close dimensional tolerances thin cross-sections and intricate shapes can be cast. For undercuts and other difficult to cast features part of the pattern can be made from wax in conjunction with a standard pattern; essentially using investment and ceramic mold casting techniques together. The main disadvantages are: it is only cost effective for small- to medium-sized production runs and the ceramic is not reusable. Ferrous and high-temperature non-ferrous are most commonly cast with these processes; other materials cast include: aluminum copper magnesium titanium and zinc alloys.
HOW TO CAST A CERAMIC MOLD
Mahakala 2 arms : Brief Introduction
Mahakala is typically black in color. Just as all colors are absorbed and dissolved into black all names and forms are said to melt into those of Mahakala symbolizing his all-embracing comprehensive nature. Black can also represent the total absence of color and signifies the nature of Mahakala as ultimate or absolute reality and transcendence of all form.
The most notable variation in Mahakala's manifestations and depictions is in the number of arms but other details can vary as well. For instance the two-armed Mahakala was transformend from the first Buddha Ardhalma and is worshiped for his spiritual wisdom. The four-armed Mahakala was transformed from the Sambhogakaya Buddha. The six-armed Mahkala comes in two forms : one white and one black. His white form helps one attain riches and a longlife. His black form was transformed from Avalokitesvara and helps people conquer any obstacles on their path to enlightenment.IconographyThe two-armed Mahakala called Bernakchen is a protector of the Karma Kagyu school. It is often thought to be the primary protector but it is actually the main protector of the Karmapas specifically.
This protective deity is described as figures possessing stout bodies short but thick and strong limbs. His flaming hair decorated with a crown of skulls rises from his forehead while a circle of flames dance around him. His face possesses a typical wrathful expression. The mouth is contorted to an angry smile from its corners protrude long fangs. The protruding bloodshot eyes have an angry and staring expression and usually a third eye is visible in the middle of the forehead.
In his right hand he holds a chopper which symbolizes the cutting through of negative patterns such as aggression hatred and ignorance. In his left hand he holds a skull cup a ritual element typically filled with blood or human brain matter. He is seen standing on the corpse of two human bodies thus symbolizing the death of negativities and the complete uprooting of negative patterns to such a point that like a dead body they will not come to life.
