Fluid sand process
Equipment
The image provides information about a process called the fluid sand process which was developed at IIT Madras using indigenous materials for making moulds and cores for the production of ferrous and non –ferrous castings of high dimensional accuracy. As part of the process, sand is mixed suitably with a binder and a foaming agent (promotes the formation of bubbles). The mixture has considerable fluidity and can be directly poured into a mould and core boxes without compaction. No drying is necessary before casting.
