1. Ceramic Foundry Sand Introduction
Ceramsite is a spherically shaped bauxite sand manufactured by melting bauxite in an Electric Arc Furnace followed by a proprietary spraying process. It beaded foundry sand provides a unique combination of spherical shape grain, chemistry, and physical properties that result in numerous performance advantages compared with other foundry sands. The grain surface is much smoother than other foundry sands, leading to better castings.
