Product Introduction

Product Description

 

  • Foundry Grade Ilmenite Sand is an ilmenite molding sand product optimized for the foundry industry. It is a foundry sand processed from zircon sand associated ilmenite through purification, classification and dust removal. It is a very cost-effective molding sand and face sand raw material in the production of ordinary steel and iron castings. With 24 years of deep engagement in the foundry raw material field, we are familiar with the requirements of different foundry processes for molding sand performance. In response to the core indicators of the foundry industry such as thermal stability, anti-sticking sand and gas evolution, we have specially optimized the purity and particle size of Foundry Grade Ilmenite Sand, so that it has excellent high-temperature performance and process adaptability. It has become a conventional sand for dozens of foundry enterprises in China, helping customers significantly reduce raw material costs while ensuring casting quality.

  • Foundry Grade Ilmenite Sand has the characteristics of high density, high thermal stability and low expansion, which is very suitable for use as face sand and back sand of steel and iron castings. Its refractoriness can reach above 1450℃, which can withstand the high-temperature scouring of ordinary molten steel and molten iron, and effectively reduce casting surface defects such as sand burning and sand scouring. It has high density, good molding sand compaction, and more guaranteed casting dimensional accuracy. It has low thermal expansion coefficient, and castings are not prone to veining defects. Compared with quartz sand, Foundry Grade Ilmenite Sand has better thermochemical stability, is not easy to react with molten metal, and has better casting surface quality. Compared with zircon sand, it has significant price advantages and is an ideal choice for ordinary castings to replace zircon sand and reduce costs and increase efficiency. Our foundry-grade ilmenite sand undergoes strict magnetic separation purification and screening classification, with low mud content, uniform particle size and low gas evolution, and can be directly used to prepare molding sand and coatings. Conventional foundry special particle sizes have sufficient regular stock, with stable monthly production capacity, which can meet the continuous procurement needs of foundry enterprises.

Quality Control

 

The quality of foundry sand directly affects the casting yield. Therefore, we have established special quality control standards for Foundry Grade Ilmenite Sand. At the raw material end, high-grade ilmenite raw ore is selected to ensure TiO₂ content and refractory performance from the source. At the production end, it undergoes multiple processes such as gravity separation, magnetic separation, screening and dust removal. Particle size composition, mud content and chemical composition are tested after each process to ensure that all indicators stably meet the standards. At the finished product end, in addition to conventional chemical composition, particle size and mud content testing, special performance tests for foundry such as gas evolution and refractoriness are added to simulate foundry working conditions to verify the actual use performance of the product. Our laboratory is equipped with a full set of molding sand testing equipment, which can complete multiple performance tests such as gas evolution, strength and refractoriness. Each batch of products is accompanied by a detailed quality inspection report, with all data traceable. 100% full inspection is qualified before finished products leave the factory, and we also support customers to entrust third-party foundry testing institutions for performance re-inspection, helping customers improve casting yield with stable quality.

 

Payment Terms

 

In view of the procurement characteristics of foundry enterprises, we provide flexible and diverse payment schemes. For small-batch samples and material replenishment orders, full payment before delivery is supported, with simple procedures and delivery arranged on the same day, quickly responding to customers' emergency production needs. For large-batch formal orders, the standard settlement method of "50% deposit upon order placement, balance settled before shipment" is implemented, taking into account the capital security and transaction trust of both parties. We accept settlement in both RMB and US dollars, support mainstream payment methods such as telegraphic transfer, and can cooperate with customers to handle settlement methods such as letters of credit. For long-term and stable cooperative large foundry customers, annual supply agreements can be signed to enjoy stepped price discounts. The larger the annual purchase volume, the higher the discount. At the same time, more flexible payment cycles and delivery rhythms can be negotiated. We always adhere to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and are willing to deeply bind with high-quality foundry enterprises to jointly cope with market fluctuations and achieve long-term stable common development.

 

Factory Strength

 

We are one of the few source enterprises in China that have the production capacity of a full series of foundry sands such as zircon sand and ilmenite sand. The factory covers an area of 250,000 square meters, with 15 flotation production lines, 10 electromagnetic separation lines and multiple sets of classification and screening equipment, and the beneficiation production capacity ranks among the top in the industry. With 24 years of focus on R&D and production of foundry mineral raw materials, we have accumulated rich industry application experience, are familiar with the raw material requirements of various foundry processes such as sand casting, precision casting and lost foam casting, and can provide targeted sand use solutions for different customers. Relying on the resource advantages of zircon-titanium 共生 ore, our Foundry Grade Ilmenite Sand all comes from our own beneficiation production capacity, with independently controllable raw materials, stable quality and sufficient supply, and will not be affected by market source fluctuations. At present, our foundry raw material products serve hundreds of foundry enterprises nationwide and are exported to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other countries and regions, making us a trusted source supplier of foundry sand for customers at home and abroad.
