Gilsonite in foundry

Gilsonite is used as a carbonate additive in casting sand, which creates smoother plates on gray iron molds. Gilsonite is mixed with the coal formed in the ocean crust and is used as a special adhesive for casting sand, which reduces the defects at the end of the casting process. Gilsonite is also used in foundry as a binder for shaping metals and mixing with chemical compounds such as magnesium and hydrated lime for desulfurization in steel industries. Gilsonite additive in molding and casting sand acts as a resin and creates adhesion between sand and other materials. After filling the mold, this adhesion helps that the gas emitted from the sublimation of Gilsonite causes pressure on the poured material and it is easier. The mold should be separated from the cast material. At the same time, the surface of the mold remains very smooth.
