What is casting sand? What equipment is used to process casting sand?

What is casting sand? What can casting sand be used for? How is casting sand processed? How much do you know about foundry sand? When Xiaokuang heard about casting sand, he was actually surprised. In his limited knowledge system, he felt that this type of sand was not common or commonly used. However, the small mines are still narrow, and casting sand was originally a commonly used molding material for configuring molding sand and core sand. Today, Xiaokuang will focus on popularizing some knowledge about casting sand for everyone.
1. What is casting sand? What is the use of casting sand?
Foundry sand is divided into two categories based on its mineral composition: silica sand and non silica sand.
1. Silica sand: The main component is SiO2. Silica sand is further divided into natural silica sand and artificial silica sand.
2. Non siliceous sand: This type of sand generally refers to sand made from limestone, quartz, corundum, clay, and zirconium sand.
Foundry sand is actually a type of sand made from a variety of raw materials. For example, silica sand, limestone sand, corundum sand, Quartz Sand, and so on can all be used as casting sand.
Casting sand is mainly used for sand mold casting production. Casting sand is a molding material used to prepare molding sand and core sand in casting production, such as steel, iron, and most non-ferrous alloy castings, which can be obtained by sand casting method.
