Foundry Sand
Foundry Sand is an essential component of the metal casting process, providing a medium through which molten metal can flow and solidify into the desired shape.
Olivine, a magnesium iron silicate mineral, has emerged as a preferred choice for this material due to its exceptional thermal stability, high refractoriness, and excellent resistance to chemical reactions with molten metals.
Unlike conventional silica sands, olivine displays remarkable heat absorption capabilities. Which allows optimum cooling rates and minimizing the risk of metal defects such as cracking or warping.
Furthermore, olivine’s superior resistance to corrosion and erosion ensures prolonged mold life and enhanced casting quality.
Its distinctive green color also facilitates easy identification and separation from used sand during reclamation processes.
Unquestionably, olivine stands out among other alternatives for this product applications by delivering unmatched performance characteristics that cater to the demanding requirements of modern metallurgy with unwavering excellence
