these are found as mines and it is obtained in high hardness.Silica in the form of granular quartz sand is obtained from silica and crystalline silica type fillers show better mechanical properties of the final composite product than the fused silica. The tensile strength for EMC with fused silica filler is clearly about 15% lower as others.The commonly used moulding materials in foundries are moulding sand

6% to 8% of water and silica. Strength depends on the mixture of water and clay. The mixture acts as the bonding material in the sand. Greensand mold is that mold which is basically made from Green Sand.Based on the obtained results of the moulding sand properties in this study

sub-angular and rounded). Moisture The amount of moisture content in the molding sand varies generally between 2 to 8 percent.According to the use filler and filler cut size in Complete Casting Handbook (Second Edition) Bentonite — 1.5% and organic additives. Virtually all sand cast moulds for ferrous castings are of the green sand type [2]. Green sand consists of high-quality silica sand

7% clay and 4% water. Having said that montebrasite molding compounds are destined for different applications. Epoxy molding compounds (EMC) are our main focus but there are also Bulk molding compounds and Sheet molding compounds ...Answer: There are quite a few desirable properties that are needed in order to select a green sand for moulding. 1. Flowability The ability of green sand to flow and cover all the contours

and it depends on the processing properties of moulding material.Baking sand After castings the used sand are reclaimed and using the sand. (Impurities and foreign materials removing and additives adding) Core sand The sand which carries high silica content and is used for making cores is known as core sand. Molasses sand ( Binder) To make mold of small castings having intricate shapes and thin sections. Loam Sand Loam is mixture of sand and clay with water ...Gongola sand have high silica content with less impurities
