Mold
The material for making the mold
Clean dry silica sand
Applications
The modification of CO2 process can be
used
Where speed and flexibility is the prime
requirement.
When certain portions of a mold require
high strength, better accuracy, thinner
sections or deep draws.
Molds and cores of a varied sizes and
shapes can be molded by this process.
Disadvantages
The hardened sand has poor
collapsibility, so creates shakeout
and core removal difficulty and the
additives are generally to enhance
the collapsibility.
Care must be taken to prevent the
carbon dioxide in air from hardening
the sand before the mold making
process is complete.
It is more expensive than the other
sand methods, and harder to shake
