Foundry Chromite Sand afs45-55 price
Foundry chromite sand with AFS 45-55 (American Foundry Society grain fineness number) is a premium refractory material widely used in steel casting, ductile iron casting, and heavy machinery component production. Its unique combination of high refractoriness, low thermal expansion, and excellent molten metal resistance makes it irreplaceable for manufacturing high-precision castings—while its AFS 45-55 grade, a medium-coarse specification, balances permeability and mold stability, fitting most large-to-medium casting molds. Below is a detailed overview of its product attributes, price factors, and value advantages.

MAINLY APPLICATIONS OF Black Chromite Sand:

Chromite Sand in the foundry industry

Its properties enable the material to be used in high duty grey iron and steel foundries as core and mould making sand. Its high thermal conductivity gives it good chilling properties, low thermal expansion gives rise to good dimensional stability. Its basicity being close to neutral allows the use of a wide range of resin bonding systems and inorganic binders, it has a high refractoriness and a broad sieve distribution.

Chromite Sand in the steel industry

In steel production, Chromite Sand is used as well filler for protection of the sliding gate in large steel holding ladles.

Chromite Sand in the glass industry

When ground to a fine flour, Chromite Sand is used for the production of green glass beverage containers.
