Foundry Sands
Mineral rocks obtained from mines are crushed, washed, dried and beneficiated to form sands.
Different types of sands are used for making the core and mould in foundries. In this particular foundry application apart from the chemical composition of the mineral, grain size distribution is very important. Thus after the cruising and beneficiation process is over presize sizing of the grains is done making the grain size distribution suitable for the application. There are various types of sands with different and distinctive properties like:
- "High" thermal conductivity
- "Low" thermal expansion
- High fusion point
- Good chilling properties
- Good refractoriness, etc..
