 — 3. Chromite sand has a small linear expansion, which is a factor that may cause sand inclusion in castings, so it can be used to mix green sand molds for large castings. 4. Chromite ore is sintered with fine particles to eliminate metal penetration, accompanied by cooling and high residual thermal strength. 5. Chromite sand is …

 — A segregation of both kinds of sands occurs by means of the magnetic separation (chromite sand is magnetic, while silica sand is non-magnetic). However, when this separation is not accurate, too high fraction of SiO 2 in chromite sand worsens its fire resistance (maximum SiO 2 content should be 1%). Chromite sand indicates a high …

 — These are silica, bauxite, Cerabeads 400, Cerabeads 1450, zircon and chromite. Silica sand provides a good benchmark for comparisons with other sands due to the widespread use and knowledge about its use. Bauxite is mainly aluminum oxide and is heavier than silica. Two types of Cerabeads are tested in this study, the 400 and 1450 …

Unlike conventional sand moulds, chromite moulds can be hard to recover and reuse should there be moderate-to-high amounts of silica present. This is due to a greater likelihood of the chrome becoming contaminated by the silica, and thus its refractoriness is reduced(4).

Foundry grade chromite sand is a complex compound of various elements; chromium (Cr 2 O 3), aluminium (Al 2 O 3), silica (SiO 2), and magnesium oxide (MgO). Chrome's resilient characteristics make it the material of choice for many foundry applications. It is also used in molds for automotive castings and as a well filler in steel production.

Foundry sand consists primarily of silica sand (>80% silcon dioxide), coated with a thin film of burnt carbon and residual binder (Du et al 2002). Loss on ignition in foundry sand has been reported by the American Foundrymen's Association (1991) to be around 5%. Depending on the binder and type of metal being cast, the pH of foundry sand can
