Coremaking
The baseline situation: core production is subject to a large variety of influences
Especially in core production, there are situations in which apparently identical conditions produce different core qualities. This sub-process in the complex foundry process is subject to a large variety of influences. The main difficulty is that some of these influencing factors are still unknown and some of the known variables can not be directly influenced. If the cause of the error is not obvious or known,...

Sand & Binders
The final quality of the metal casting is the results of a tremendous amount of controlled parameters inside the foundry workshop. On a daily basis, parameters such as pouring temperature, sand quality, molding conditions, etc. are leveraged by metal casters to balance quality versus the yield of production, which have usually an opposite trend.The molding sand and the sand used for core making have a direct impact on the casting quality, and thus on the efficiency of production. The use of...
