The term Green Sand denotes the presence of moisture in molding sand and indicates that the mold is not baked or dried. Raw sand is mined and then processed to give it a consistent distribution of grain sizing. When processed for molding, organic clays are added to bond the grains together. A coal dust (known as Sea Coal) is added to control ...

Sand moulded casting is the simplest and most versatile casting method used to make castings. Sand is the most popular molding material due to its heat receptivity, permeability and low cost. Over 60% of metal casting is done by using sand moulds. Sand moulds are broadly classified into two Green sand moulds and Dry sand moulds.

Sand molds are expendable, or single-use, molds that are destroyed after retrieving the casting. Green sand is the most used molding medium; green sand is moist foundry-grade sand. Interestingly, green sand is not green in color. Green sand molds are made from three ingredients—sand, water, and clay binders.

Typical green sand mixtures contain 7% clay, 4% water, and 89% sand, thus providing the proper levels of strength, permeability, reusability, and collapsibility desired for sand casting projects. Cold setting processes — Cold setting uses nontraditional binders, resulting in a sand-casting process that does not rely on heat to perform well.

Green sand casting, or green sand molding, is a process by which molten aluminum is poured directly into a mold cavity formed from a simple mixture of sand, clay and water. There is no correlation between the term green and the mold color. "Green" refers to a water-tempered, uncured sand molding system, resulting in a moldable sand mixture ...

Green sand, with insufficient permeability to allow moisture to exit through the back face of the mold can cause moisture and hydrogen to bubble through the metal, especially where portions of the mold protrude to form a pocket in the casting. In severe cases, substantial amounts of water can be driven into the casting.,

Green Sand is blown into the flasks and tightly packed against both sides of the matchplate. The cope and drag machine flasks are then separated and the matchplate is extracted creating impressions in the sand. The cope and drag flasks are put back together forming a sand mold into which the aluminum is poured.

Composition of green sand molding mixture for iron foundries typically consists of 100 parts silica sand, 8 parts bentonite clay and other additions like carbon ( 0,3 parts ) or cereals and 3 % water content. It's called " green" because the mold strength is developed with mechanical (compression) stress; not by a chemical reaction nor heat.

After cooling, the casting is separated from the mould and the green sand can be re-used. The three most popular automated moulding technologies for green sand casting are vertical, matchplate and horizontal flask moulding. Vertical moulding is predominately used for high volume, high precision casting due to its excellent efficiency and accuracy.
