Chromite sand AFS40-45 is an superior chill material for large and extra large castings to replace iron chills. Placing chromite ore sand AFS 40-45 in the hot spot, corner, and riser areas works well for the castings.
There are some advantages to use Chromite sand as chill materials for large steel castings:
It is beneficial for improving the solidification cooling speed of castings
Chromite sand is a high refractoriness materail. It can prevent mechanical and chemical sand sticking.
Chrome ore sand can prevent casting deformation and shrinke.
Chromite sand is flexible to place in different parts of the casting.
Chromite sand AFS 40-45 has good functionality and economic benefits for this application.
