The Effect of the Addition of Bentonite Clay to Traditional Sand Mixtures on the Surface Quality of Iron Castings
Successful casting demands that during pouring of the foundry mould with molten metal the mould cavity suffers no deformation. This, in turn, demands the use of binding materials that can give the base sand adequate strength. The main bonding materials are clay binders. The foundry industry uses min...

Successful casting demands that during pouring of the foundry mould with molten metal the mould cavity suffers no deformation. This, in turn, demands the use of binding materials that can give the base sand adequate strength. The main bonding materials are clay binders.
