1. Ceramic Foundry Sand Introduction
Ceramic Foundry Sand, technically named as “Fused Ceramic Sand for Foundry”, also named as ceramite, is good spherical grain shape which is made from calcined bauxite. Its main content is aluminum oxide, and it is processed by melting, blowing, sieving and blending. Ceramic sand, has much better properties than that of silica sand to gain a better performance in foundry. Ceramic Foundry sand is a kind of refractory particle with diameter of 0.053-2.0mm.Mainly made of Al2O3·SiO2. It is ball-shaped particle made from bauxite,by high-temperature melting in electric-arc furnace, spraying and cooling.

5. Ceramic Foundry Sand Applications
At present, More than 500,000 MT Investment casting in China each years and shell waste is more than 1,000,000MT. So the recycled of the shell material is an important issue.
Higher quality investment castings normally use Zircon sand and powder. But after use, it is very tough to separate with back refractories.
In Japan, people has successfully use Sintered Ceramic sand to substitute Zircon material sand and recycled ceramic sand obtained.
Our ceramsite is made by fused method which has higher uniformity and smooth surface. So it can be used in Investment castings.
