Gilsonite for foundry industry is used by mixing with foundry sand or we can say that it’s one of the foundry additives for increasing the quality of foundry products.
The foundry would be one of the oldest manufacturing processes that is done by melting materials and pouring them into the mold and it is one of the most common methods of manufacturing metal parts in various industries and it will give us the possibility of mass production of parts with small to large dimensions, weighing several grams to several tons with simple to the complex shape and integrated structure there are several methods of casting or foundry but foundry with sand is known as the oldest and most common casting method.
About 90% of the products produced in various industries and industrial machinery are somehow related to casting processes and we must say that it has used approximately in all industries for example foundry is used in industries such as:
- Automobile manufacturing, railway equipment, railway equipment, and shipbuilding
- Road construction, agriculture, and mining machinery
- Machining, molding, forging, extrusion, forming, and casting equipment
- Equipment for chemical, petrochemical, paper, sugar, textile, smelting, and power plants
- Vehicles, weapons, ammunition, tanks, and maintenance equipment
- Pipes, connections, valves, and fittings
- Kitchen appliances, furniture, and gardening equipment
- Sculpture, ornaments, decoration
So it is better to say that for all industries all parts must be made by foundry or casting process follow of this reason the products must have a very good finish and a really nice shape and only by adding Gilsonite to foundry sands as carbon additives instead of sea coal the final product when it will come out from mold will have a good shape and finish and this item is very important in foundry industry and for adding Gilsonite must be in powder mode and the mesh size of the powder must be 200 microns and only in this mode can mix with foundry sand and have good results.
Packing Gilsonite foundry grade of Asia Gilsonite would be in 25 kg 2-ply bags or in 1000 kg jumbo bags the packing can be with pallets or without pallets following the client order.
