FEATURES OF USING GILSONITE FOR FOUNDRY
No other carbon additives can replace Gilsonite in the foundry and Due to its natural properties, the final product comes out of the mold with a better finish.
Another reason for using Gilsonite in its casting is that the product is easily removed from the mold after cooling and the product surfaces are without any defects.
ADVANTAGE OF USING GILSONITE IN FOUNDRY
Some of the advantages of using Gilsonite in the foundry industry would be such as:
- Gilsonite produces gas three times more than sea coal, which allows the product to separate better from the mold
- Gilsonite due to its high percentage of carbon makes the product pay better after leaving the mold
- Reduces the space between the mold and the material and makes the product more productive
