Non-metallic Materials

Non-metallic materials are used for a wide variety of applications in a range of industries, often as solutions where traditional metallic materials cannot be used. Non-metallic materials offer a range of physical and chemical properties, including having low thermal and electrical conductivity, making them good insulators as well as offering a high resistance to chemicals and corrosion. They can, however, be brittle and tend to have a low melting or boiling point. When applied with stress, non-metallic materials will often show an elastic, plastic, or viscous response.

Why Chromite Sand

Author 2021-07-07 14:29

High thermal conductivity

The Thermal Conductivity of chromite sand is higher than the other commercially available foundry moulding sands. This results in a mild chilling of the surface and a thicker solidified skin. This thicker skin improves the casting surface and reduces the likelihood of casting defects. Generally, foundries use Chromite Sand for one of the following reasons:

  • to promote directional solidification (particularly in smaller/thinner-walled castings) when positioned in specific areas,

  • to position around steel chills to significantly reduce the likelihood of cracking around the chills, or

  • in the manufacturing of larger castings, to use chromite sand as the moulding material to promote a thicker solidifying skin as the molten metal rises up the mould face. This reduces the risk of it being washed away which allows faster filling times. This high heat abstraction rate also aids in inhibiting penetration and burn on defects.

Thermal Conductivity

Low thermal expansion

Silica Sand undergoes an alpha-beta phase transformation at approx 350oC – 650oC. This corresponds to the temperature zone that the mould experiences during cooling. This can lead to expansion defects such as veining or cracking in castings where silica sand moulds are used

Chromite has a much lower expansion over the same temperature range. In addition, the Chromite expansion does not have the same stepped expansion; therefore the likelihood of these expansion type defects is significantly reduced.

Lower thermal expansion generally results in improved dimensional stability in finished castings.

ThermalExpansion


Wetability resistance to molten steel

Chromite is used as it has the ability to resist metal penetration by molten steel and oxides in the metal. This is mainly due to the chilling ability of chromite to make the oxides less fluid when in contact with the mould

No-one wants to see these defects!

Wetability

Basic to neutral pH

The basic to neutral pH of chromite significantly reduces the likelihood of reaction defects. These are most often seen when the acidic nature of the silica sand moulds react with the basic nature of manganese steel castings.

Maintaining a consistent pH is also critical as some modern binder systems cannot cope with a pH that is too high or variable.

pH

High Fusion Point

With our reserves chrome content averaging 47.1%, we expect to see a fusion point at approximately 1850°C (or 3362°F)

High Melting Point

Broad sieve distribution

Our standard material is a 4-sieve distribution. This means that 4 sieves contain more than 10% retained. Our current material has more than 90% on the ASTM 40-100 sieves. A typical sieve distribution is shown below.

This has been shown through research to provide an excellent packing density which reduces the binder requirements and improves casting quality. Our processing plant allows us to provide a range of different distributions and sizings according to individual foundry’s requirements.
