Advantages
Green sand is a moulding material widely used in the foundry industry because of its many advantages. Here are some of the advantages of greensand in foundry applications:
The cost of tooling is lower than that of shell foundry tooling.
Quick tool change.
Silica sand + clay + water. Common products (eco-responsible).
Ideal for small and medium production runs, thanks to its flexibility and low tooling costs.
Green sand is relatively easy to prepare, mix and compact into moulds. It is made from silica sand mixed with a clay-based binder, water and possibly other additives.
Greensand offers good plasticity, which means it can be shaped to produce complex mould shapes, making it a versatile choice for foundry work.
Green sand is generally less expensive than other moulding materials, making it an economical choice for many foundry applications.
Green sand can be recycled and reused several times, reducing waste and the costs associated with mould making.
Green sand can be used to produce moulds for parts of various shapes. One of the strengths of sand casting is the production of customised parts or small series.
