Comparative experimental study of sand and binder for flowability and casting mold quality

A good sand mold is an indispensable prerequisite to obtaining a metal casting. Although casting one of the oldest forming technique known humans, it still has lot discover. In bid meet ever-growing demand for quality, economics and increasing environmental restrictions, research ongoing optimize example process making mold. This paper presents comparative study six different foundry sands flowability using simple inexpensive apparatus some quality parameters achieved by these when used with three types binder, two organic inorganic. The aims facilitate choice materials more extensive outlook into their characteristics through serious tests. comparison already existing provides reference point novel are investigated. All exhibited ‘good’ flow property according tests done. However, not same consensus rank reached all reveal strength, loss on ignition permeability values each binder combination which can also be in material selection.
