  1. Introduction to the main subdivided products and uses of casting molding materials

Casting molding materials are mainly used in the foundry industry and are one of the essential basic process materials in the casting process. Casting molding materials usually refer to the materials used to make molds or cores in sand casting, and can be divided into raw sand for casting, binders for casting, casting coatings, curing agents, risers, filters and other auxiliary materials. Among them, casting binders generally include self-hardening furan resin, cold box resin, alkali phenolic, phenolic urethane self-hardening resin and curing agent, etc.).

The subdivision categories and specific uses are as follows:

  Raw sand for foundryIt is the most basic material for molding and core making in foundry production. The types can be divided into quartz sand, magnesia, olivine sand, zircon sand, limestone sand, clay sand, water glass sand, resin sand, oil sand, etc. The properties of raw sand have an important impact on the quality of castings. The properties mainly include: moisture, compaction rate, air permeability, deformation, crushing index, effective clay content, effective coal powder content, etc.

  Binders for castingIt is a substance that binds loose raw sand to form a certain strength and gives specific properties. It is an important modeling material used in the casting process. Its types include clay, water glass, casting resin, etc. Its quality has a great impact on the quality of castings. . Using different types of resin, different types of resin sand can be made, including self-hardening resin sand, cold core box resin sand, hot core box resin sand and coated sand. Among them, self-hardening resin sand refers to molding sand/core sand prepared from acid-hardened furan resin, acid-hardened phenolic resin, ester-cured alkaline phenolic resin, amine-hardened phenolurethane self-hardening resin, etc., together with curing agent, raw sand, etc. The self-hardening resin sand process is currently an ideal process for manufacturing casting molds for large, medium or small batches of castings.

  curing agentIt is used to cross-link with the main resin to make the cured material reach an ideal state. Normal temperature curing agents include isocyanate resin, polyamide resin, aromatic amine resin, fatty amine resin, etc., and high temperature curing agents include amino resin, phenolic resin, etc.

A riser is a supplementary part added above or to the side of a casting to avoid defects in the casting.

  Casting coatingIt is a casting auxiliary material that covers the surface of the cavity and core to improve the fire resistance, chemical stability, resistance to erosion of molten metal, and resistance to sand sticking on the surface of the cavity and core.

  filterIt is usually used to filter out inclusions in molten metal and improve the metallographic structure, thereby further improving the yield and productivity of the casting process, and improving the internal quality, mechanical properties and machining performance of the casting.

  Other auxiliary materialsIt mainly includes release agents (to facilitate demoulding and improve production efficiency), scavengers, anti-veining agents, etc.

  2. Overview of the importance of the casting molding materials industry

The casting materials industry has grown with the development of casting. my country's casting materials gradually realized industrialization and commercialization at the end of the last century. The output has ranked first in the world for many years in a row, and the variety and quality basically meet the growing needs of the national economy. During the sand casting process, casting molding materials can give the casting mold/core normal temperature and high temperature strength that meet the requirements of the casting process, and maintain dimensional stability under the erosion and erosion of high-temperature molten metal, enabling high-quality castings to be obtained. For example, according to statistics from the China Foundry Association, casting scrap caused by improper quality and use of casting binders accounts for approximately 30% to 50% of the total casting scrap rate. In addition, the correct selection of molding materials also determines the casting process, production efficiency, energy consumption, environmental load and casting quality. It can be seen that casting materials are extremely important basic materials for the casting process.

Casting is an important foundation for the equipment manufacturing industry and is known as the “Mother of Industry”. It is widely used in automobiles, internal combustion engines, machine tools, power generation equipment, rail transit, pipe fittings and valves, mining and metallurgical machinery and other fields. Casting molding materials are one of the indispensable basic process materials in the casting process and are widely used in the foundry industry. Casting resin is an important basic material in the foundry industry. The quality of the resin binder directly affects the accuracy, smoothness, scrap rate and performance stability of the casting.

  3. The output of China’s casting industry has long ranked first in the world.

In 2023, China's total casting output will remain basically stable despite the complex international political and economic environment, ranking first in the world for 24 consecutive years. China's total output of various castings will reach 51.9 million tons in 2023, a slight increase of 0.4% year-on-year. There is a clear positive correlation between the consumption of casting materials and the tonnage of casting production.

In 2023, among the demand for castings in various downstream industries, the automotive industry will still be the largest user of castings. In 2023, automotive castings accounted for 29.3%, with output of 15.2 million tons, a year-on-year growth rate of 3.1%. Driven by the boom in the industry, power generation equipment, electric power, and ships both increased by more than 10% during the year. The total output of construction machinery affected by real estate fell by 10.4% year-on-year.
