Refractory coatings exist to improve casting quality, but when not properly applied, they can cause unwanted characteristics in the final casting.
By Jay Morrison, Carpenter Brothers (Mequon, Wisconsin)
Applying a refractory coating to molds and cores can be a useful step to improve surface finish, control the heat transfer characteristics and thus the microstructure in the casting, improve core venting and prevent certain defects in the casting. As with any process step, proper techniques in applying the coating are paramount in achieving the desired effects and avoiding the cause of new quality issues. Metalcasters can apply coatings to their sand molds in four main ways, all with varying advantages and disadvantages.

Brushing coating on molds is useful when extra care needs to be given to certain areas.

A patented water-based liquid parting which provides improved odor characteristics and reduced flammability.
The Hill and Griffith Company has developed and patented a unique water-based liquid parting which provides improved odor characteristics and reduced flammability for foundry molding applications. Flammability has long been a concern in automatic molding operations and with the water-based formula, this concern can be minimized or eliminated.
