The One Shot Crucible is tapped at the bottom, the molten steel flows into the mold, fusing with the rail ends and forming the weld. The breakdown time starts after the last drop pours, allowing the entire setup to progressively cool. After the recommended time, the mold is removed and the weld is cleaned and finished by grinding to produce a smooth joint.
