Review of Reliance Foundry's, "How to make green sand for metal casting foundry" article
Posted by Hill and Griffith Company on Jan 15, 2019 5:23:16 PM
This is a great basic description of the "Green Sand" foundry method.
In most cases, “green” sand is enough to evidence these properties. Green sand is not called that because of its color—these materials can be a wide range of colors depending on composition and use. Instead, it gets its name because it is damp, like green wood.

Thanks to Belloi & Romaqnoli for this great animation of the green sand foundry process.
Green Sand Preparation, Tight Flask Molding, Rotary Sand and Casting Cooling Shakeout Technology
"A modern foundry sand preparation system must meet two fundamental requirements, it must produce quality sand and it must continue to deliver this quality over time. Belloi & Romagnoli systems guarantee the supply of quality sand with the right compatibility and green strength with a temperature level below 45 degrees, which is permeable and constant over time. Now, let's see how.

"Foundry Management & Technology, 2019 Metalcasting Outlook"
Posted by Hill and Griffith Company on Dec 11, 2018 2:04:22 PM
North American foundry and diecasting managers and decision makers give the final word on industry conditions today — and the first word on their expectations for metalcasting growth and development in the coming year.
Foundry Management & Technology, "2019 Metalcasting Outlook."
Metalcasting is not an ordinary industrial market: it is sensitive to all types of economic variables (raw materials, energy, labor) as well as financial conditions (interest rates, tariffs.)

• This article looks at the characteristics metalcasters should be looking for in their sand systems.
• Explained within is the role additives play in creating ideal molding sand characteristics.
For many metalcasters, there is no substitute for the smooth and silky feel of perfect green sand conditioning. While there have been many improvements in sand conditioning practices to achieve this feel, tests designed to determine ideal sand characteristics remain subjective, causing foundries to rely somewhat on guesswork.
