Characterization of Chalawa River Sand for Foundry Application

Abstract:

The characterization of Chalawa river sand with its suitability for foundry applications has been investigated. Chemical and sieve analyses and Green permeability were determined for the sand via standard procedure. Based on the result of the chemical and sieve analyses and permeability (the sand by its high silica content and low alkali fluxes) it needs small amount of binder, has moderate refractoriness and therefore, can be employed in foundry applications.
