Low Fe2O3 Mullite Powder for Precision Investment Casting with Low Coefficient Thermal Expansion

1. Mullite Sand Introduction

The casting sand raw material of mullite is made of kaolin by high temperature sintering. The chemical components of mullite are all chemical substances with strong fire resistance, and their properties are relatively stable. It mainly includes: alumina, silica, etc., the content of alumina is between 42% and 46%, and the content of silica is between 51-53%.

5. Mullite Sand Applications

The product can be used for complex casting of carbon steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant steel.
1.Grain shape of the foundry sand is close to the true round with smooth surface, good fluidity and fillibility, easy to be filled ,it can get good formability and strength of mold.
2.Compounding moulding sand with foundry sand, casting will not have defects of expansion cause it has low thermal expansion rate.
3.Producing castings with foundry sand will have high accuracy ,less fracture and surface defects, what's more it can also improve the yield of casting.
4.Foundry sand has good crushing resistance and high strength, it's rarely broken even if reuse.
