Ceramic Foundry Sand, technically named as “Fused Ceramic Sand for Foundry”, also named as ceramsite, is good spherical grain shape which is made from calcined bauxite. Its main content is aluminum oxide, and it is processed by melting, blowing, sieving and blending. Ceramic sand, has much better properties than that of silica sand to gain a better performance in foundry. It has high refractoriness, stable inert characteristics, excellent flowability, intrinsic hardness and wear resistance.

Foundry grade chromite sand is a complex compound of various elements; chromium (Cr2O3), aluminium (Al2O3), silica (SiO2), and magnesium oxide (MgO).

Chrome’s resilient characteristics make it the material of choice for many foundry applications. It is also used in molds for automotive castings and as a well filler in steel production.

Chromite sand (foundry grade), also known as foundry chromite sand, is a specialized refractory material widely used in the foundry industry. Below is a detailed overview of its properties, applications, and advantages:
