Uses Of Cupronickel
Cupronickel is an alloy of Copper and Nickel used for various purposes in many industries. Cupronickel alloys are of many varieties depending on the proportion of Copper and Nickel along with iron, manganese, aluminum, etc. Due to their corrosion-free property, cupronickel is extensively used in seawater piping, naval shipping, power generation, etc. Some of the […]
Daily Life & Industrial Uses of Alloys
Alloys are an admixture of metals or a metal combined with one or more other elements. Known for their strength, durability or hardness, alloys play a critical role in our daily life. Since metals cannot be used in their purest form, alloys are the best option to consider. Today, alloys are used in different types […]
Benefits of Copper Nickel Alloy Casting
Copper as a metal is considered a good conductor of electricity and heat. It is often fortified with several other metals like zinc and nickel, to form alloys to satisfy varied application requirements. Copper and nickel are hundred percent soluble in each other, creating a range of copper-nickel alloys under the umbrella name Cupronickel. Although […]
Testing Compaction Of Green Moulding Sand
Sand casting is one of the popular techniques for processing molten metal to mould it in various shapes. It forms the liquid iron, copper, and aluminum into different components of the machinery. The green sand is wet and has the moisture necessary to make the mould maker. It should be compactable and contain the […]
De-Gassing Aluminum For Sand Casting Process
Molten aluminum is highly reactive, and therefore when it comes into contact with moist air or wet tools during the sand casting process, it forms hydrogen gas in the melt. This can have a well-documented detrimental effect on the final aluminum casting; therefore, it becomes important to control it before it can maximize the scrap […]
Sand Casting: Most Commonly Used Alloys & Benefits
Sand casting, also called sand mold casting, is the process of metal casting in which molten metal alloys are poured into molds made of sand. It is deemed as one of the most economical procedures to fabricate nonferrous and ferrous parts. There is an extensive range of materials that are used in sand-casting procedures like […]
Use Of Robots In Casting Process
Innovation is key in improving efficiencies, quality, and service in the Foundry industry. Technology has helped define the way forward for this particular sector. Implementation of Robotics in the foundry process has led to increased production, low wastage of material and increased quality in the finished article. Sand Mold Casting is an industry which produces […]
Improving the Sand Casting Process with 3D Printing
A Sand Mold Casting Foundry is where “metal” castings are made. Sand casting is the process through which molten metal alloys are poured into molds made from sand. It is one of the most cost-effective casting processes used to manufacture ferrous & nonferrous parts. Aluminum, Copper and Stainless Steel are the alloys used in the […]
