Foundry Ceramic Sand AFS65
Foundry ceramic sand is a superior casting sand for steel and non-ferrous alloy castings. This type of casting sand is made from fusing and blowing process of bauxite ore at high temperature of 2000 degree. As a refractory material based on alumina, ceramic sand obtains excellent refractory performance. In the meantime, the spherical casting sand make it get advantage of low angularity, higher surface area, and easy to fill into the molding. Ceramic sand gets lower thermal expansion so that it can resist melting iron, steel and other alloys.
Foundry ceramic sand is specialized in core making in molding process, no bake sand casting, resin coated sand casting, etc.
Product Feature of Ceramic sand for No-bake sand casting:
1. High thermal resistance and chemical insert.
2. Low thermal expansion rate.
3. Good flowability and low angularity coefficient.
4. High mechanical strength.
- Dry sand with Low humidity.
- Spherical shape makes it easy to clean with good air permeability.
- Recyclable.
- Reduce resin amount than angular shape sand.
