Modern Core Processes for the Non-ferrous Foundry

Abstract

The authors intend to project cogent thoughts conce-rning the rapid development of modern core practices, as also to indicate how India can benefit from the back-ground of available practical experience. The growth of modern core practice has been concurrent with the growth of the use of synthetic binders. Thin walled light non-ferrous alloys would be very difficult to economically cast otherwise. Magnesium and aluminium based castings and copper alloys have benefitted from the use of modern sysnthetic binders; and to a lesser extent brass and bronze industries.
