Experimental Study of Inorganic Foundry Sand Binders for Mold and Cast Quality

Abstract The interest in inorganic foundry binders has been rising steadily recent times due to their favorable environmental characteristics. This paper compares the mold quality and cast attained with different binders. Three types of sand five were used for study. Of binders, there was liquid sodium silicate hardening methods, a geopolymer binder, also solid silicate. assessed through bending strength, residual tensile loss on ignition measurement. A total 12 castings made using molds materials. then by tracking changes dimension surface final castings. Inorganic performed well terms strength very but is room improvement attained.
