Production Process and Usage Precautions of Cerahead Sand

Cerabead sand also known as ceramic sand, is a new type of casting sand made from raw materials such as high alumina through processes such as high-temperature melting, blowing, and screening.

Production Process of Cerahead Sand

Cerabead sand is an advanced casting material, mainly made from raw materials such as high alumina through a series of complex processes. The production process mainly includes the following steps:

Raw material preparation: Select high-quality high alumina as the main raw material to ensure the high refractoriness and chemical stability of ceramic sand. At the same time, other auxiliary materials can be added as needed to adjust the performance of cerabead sand.

Melt blowing: The raw material is sent to a high-temperature melting equipment for melting, and the melting temperature is usually as high as thousands of degrees Celsius. During the melting process, impurities in the raw materials are removed to form a uniform melt. Subsequently, the melt is blown into spherical particles through a blowing process, which is the initial form of ceramic sand.

Screening and classification: The cerabead sand particles produced by melt blowing have different sizes and need to be classified into different particle size grades through screening and classification processes. This step ensures the uniformity of particle size of ceramic sand and meets the requirements of different casting processes.

Cooling treatment: After screening and grading, cerabead sand needs to be cooled to ensure its stability and effectiveness. The cooling process usually adopts natural cooling or forced cooling methods, depending on specific production conditions.

Quality inspection: Finally, quality inspection is conducted on the produced cerabead sand, including indicators such as refractoriness, thermal expansion coefficient, and strength. Ensure that the product meets relevant standards and customer requirements.

Precautions for Using Cerahead Sand          

When using cerabead sand, the following points should be noted

Choose the appropriate particle size: Select the appropriate cerabead sand particle size according to the specific casting process and casting requirements. Particles that are too large or too small can affect the quality and casting efficiency of castings.

Storage conditions: Cerabead sand should be stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse to avoid moisture and contamination. At the same time, avoid mixing with flammable and explosive materials to ensure storage safety.

Mixed use: In some cases, it may be necessary to mix cerabead sand with other casting materials. When mixing, it should be ensured that all components are evenly mixed to avoid layering or agglomeration.

Environmental requirements: During use, relevant environmental regulations should be followed to ensure that the production and use of ceramic sand do not cause pollution to the environment.

In summary, the production process of cerabead sand is complex and refined, requiring strict control over each link to ensure product quality. Meanwhile, attention should also be paid to relevant matters during use to ensure the smooth progress of the casting process and the quality of the castings.
