What is a foundry ladle made of?
Foundry ladles usually comprise of a mild steel shell with a refractory lining material. Effectively it is the refractory lining material that allows the foundry ladle to be used with molten metal whilst the steel shell provides support for the refractory. Traditionally the refractory material used to be firebrick, fireclay or even rammed sand. However it is more common for foundries to now use special refractory concretes that have high insulation values and last longer. Examples can be seen at www.acetarc.co.uk Where small amounts of metal are to be cast foundries will sometimes use ceramic crucibles to hold the metal.
What are the wastage limits for steel cement sand and aggregate?
For steel it can be taken as 2.5 % to 3%
What are the components of reinforced cement concrete?
steel,cement, sand
Why is beach sand not suitable for concrete designing?
Sand from a beach is contaminated with all sorts of chemicals that will cause severe deleterious reactions to a concrete paste. If we are speaking of sand from an ocean environment the salt [Chloride] content is around 4%. Chlorides commence corrosion cell formation on embedded steel reinforcement in a matter of hours. With corrosion comes rust which expands the volume area of the steel. As the steel corrodes and expands the expansion causes a concrete to crack. When a crack becomes larger it allows even more chlorides moisture and oxygen free access to the steel which corrodes even faster. A design using beach sand is a prescription for concrete failure. Attempts at washing a beach sand are futile. Structures built with beach sand are doomed from the day they are poured
How do you sand cast hollow spherical shape?
You would have to make a core using a plaster based investment or a resin bound sand. The core would have to be supported in the centre of the sand mould by core pins which leave holes that have to be filled after the core material is removed.
Do steel investment foundries make use of sand?
Steel investment foundries make use of sand
Is silicon carbide equivalent to fused silica sand in foundries?
Silicon carbide is certainly not chemically equivalent to fused silica sand, because the carbide contains no oxygen and the sand contains no carbon.
How to Find Quality American Castings & Foundries?
Quality American-made castings are readily available from foundries in the United States. There are approximately 2,800 American foundries that make castings of iron, aluminum, brass, copper and a number of other materials and alloys.Internet sites such as Castings.net or Foundryonline.com are searchable and easy to access. In addition, there is a CD-ROM version of a database that can be purchased and uploaded for company or department wide access.The databases are searchable by country, by material and by manufacturer. Looking for specialty items such as rubber casting or custom alloys has never been easier. If the buyer has buy-American policies, this is a tool that can make the purchase process smoother.American castings and foundries are located in Michigan, Illinois, New Hampshire, and California to name a few states. If location matters due to on time delivery issues, locating a nearby foundry is simplified. Many foundries are catering to customers who want to manage inventory in the most efficient manner and will accommodate stocking needs and on time delivery.Trade organizations are also a good source of information about castings and foundries. The North American Die Casting Association, Steel Founders’ Association of America and the Non Ferrous Founders Association all support searchable databases.Some of the databases can search by the method of casting. If green sand molds don’t work well for the casting needed, searching by another molding technique is possible. Some foundries use sand casting methods that use polymer based bonding agents, eliminating the need for water in the sand mold. These companies can even reuse casting supplies to lower cost to the customer.Exotic blends of metals are a specialty of some American foundries. Finding one of these specialty houses and acquiring a custom alloy casting is made easier by searches that eliminate the less technical foundries.Contacting the American foundries directly by clicking links in a database takes the prospective purchaser directly to the source of information and service. Finding castings and foundries in the United States is quick and straight forward.

Where can you find sand without crystalline silica?
You can find sand without crystalline silica in locations such as non-beach environments like riverbeds, quarries, and desert regions where the sand has not undergone weathering processes that convert it into crystalline silica. Silica-free sands are used in industries that require non-silica materials, such as foundries and construction.
