Chromite Sand For Making Cores in Steel and Iron Castings
Casting Chrome ore sand is a kind of foundry sand with high refractoriness. The content of chromium oxide of casting chromite sand should be at least 46%. That will get high Solid-phase sintering temperature. Chrome ore sand is especially featured with its high thermal conductivity. It can not only make the casting steel cool quickly, but also prevent casting iron& steel from sand-sticking.
2. Excellent thermal stability
3. High density, high density
4. Medium Mohs hardness 5.5
5. High thermal conductivity
6. Low coefficient of thermal expansion
