Near-net shape casting having complex geometry is manufactured through the sand casting
process. However, day by day, the availability of natural or synthetic silica sand has been …

Chemically bonded sand molds and cores have better mechanical properties and produce
more dimensionally accurate castings, compared to green sand molds, and hence are being …

The foundry environment is dynamic and unpredictable. Variability in casting processes is
usually due to complex interactions of many process variables. The effort in monitoring these …

In CO 2 molding process, sodium silicate is used as a binder to form a chemical bond to
have high strength, good dimensional accuracy, etc. as compared to green sand mold. The …

Modern foundries increasingly use chemically bonded no-bake sand cores and molds
because they provide ease of molding, good surface finish, and collapsibility. One of the …

Various efforts are being made to use industrial wastes as an alternate moulding material in
the foundry industry. Ferrochrome (Fe–Cr) slag has many of the same attributes of sand …

The sand-casting process is predominantly used worldwide, especially in small-scale
industries. It is very important for small component manufacturing and is one of the simple …

An experimental investigation of pouring temperature effects on the thermal parameters,
microstructure, and microsegregation during directional solidification of the hypoeutectic Al …

Investigations were focused on structure property evaluation of castings made through
Granulated blast furnace (GBF) slag and silica sand moulds. Sodium Silicate-CO 2 process …

The paper focuses on the utilization of industrial waste as a mold material in the foundry
industries. The industrial waste used in these papers is red mud, ferro-chrome, and blast …
