Advanced Sintered Ceramic
& Foundry Engineering

Revolutionizing Cold Box processes with high-spherical ceramic sand technology.

As a premier sand casting company, we specialize in the synthesis of sintered ceramic sands that outperform traditional silica sands in every critical metric. By leveraging Mullite and Corundum compositions, our materials ensure that diesel engine castings, including cylinder heads and intake pipes, are free from veins and fractures, significantly enhancing structural integrity.

Our technical advantage lies in the spherical grain shape and low thermal expansion coefficient. This allows for a 20-30% reduction in resin consumption while improving collapsibility and reducing casting cleaning workloads. For any sand casting company aiming for zero-defect production, our ceramic sand provides the ultimate refractoriness of ≥1800℃.

The Core of
Engineering Excellence

Three pillars that define our superiority in the non-metallic mineral products industry.

01

Extreme temperature resistance for the most challenging foundry environments.

  • Refractoriness: Exceeds 1800℃ for heavy-duty casting.
  • Thermal Expansion: Optimized 4.5-6.5x10-6/k to eliminate veins.
  • L.O.I: Extremely low loss on ignition (<0.1%).
02

Morphological Precision

Perfectly spherical grains for maximum density and flowability.

  • Angular Coefficient: ≤1.1 for superior flow.
  • Bulk Density: High 1.5-1.6 g/cm3 for mold stability.
  • Custom Sizing: Range from 45μm to 2000μm.
03

Process Efficiency

Reducing chemical overhead and post-casting labor.

  • Resin Reduction: 20-30% less binder required.
  • High Collapsibility: Drastically lowers cleaning time.
  • Tensile Strength: Up to 2.098 MPa at 2h.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Expert answers to technical inquiries regarding sintered ceramic sand.

01

How does ceramic sand reduce "veining" in diesel engine castings?

Traditional silica sand has a high thermal expansion coefficient, which leads to expansion-related cracks or veins. Our sintered ceramic sand has a significantly lower expansion rate (4.5-6.5x10-6/k), ensuring dimensional stability at high temperatures.

02

Can I mix sintered ceramic sand with silica sand?

Yes. Many sand casting company operations use a mixture. Combining them can reduce total costs while still significantly lowering the defect rate compared to using 100% silica sand.

03

What is the effect of the spherical grain shape?

The spherical shape increases the packing density and flowability of the sand. This results in a more uniform mold and reduces the amount of phenolic-urethane resin needed for binding by up to 30%.

04

Does it improve collapsibility after casting?

Absolutely. Our ceramic sand is engineered for superior collapsibility, which makes it much easier to remove the sand cores from the finished casting, reducing the workload and time required for cleaning.

05

What are the typical particle size options?

We offer a wide range of customized particle size distributions (Mesh 20 to 270), allowing you to choose the exact grain size needed for your specific part geometry and surface finish requirements.

06

How does the tensile strength compare to baked sand?

Sintered ceramic sand typically shows much higher tensile strength (approx 2.098 MPa) compared to baked sand (approx 1.088 MPa), providing significantly stronger cores that resist deformation during pouring.
