Aims To study the technical properties of zircon sand and PEPSET nobake sand
so as to solve the cast problems caused by the quality of sand. Methods The properties of zircon sand and PEPSET nobake sand are tested and the results are analyzed. Results The technical performances such as curing rate
shock thermal expansion
collapsibility
gas evolution of the new-style sand are obtained
which are well suit for making mold. Conclusions The new-style sand can be used to make mold and core mold of the complicated casts
