Olivine Sand for Electric Arc Furnaces
Olivine does not contain chloride, there will be no corrosion and adhesion problems. The iron (Fe2O4) in olivine is the most stable form of iron. Due to this feature, it does not react chemically with the oxygen in the air and water. Therefore, since there will be no oxidation, the paint process after cleaning will have a longer life. Olivine does not contain free silica. And because of this feature, it does not cause silicosis disease. It removes the health and safety concerns of the operators. Moreover, olivine is also used as a fertilizer in the treatment of drinking water and in agriculture. However, silica sand contains free silica in its varieties and creates a carcinogenic hazard for the users of this sand in terms of health. The use of minerals containing free silica is prohibited in various countries (such as Norway, Sweden, England and the Netherlands) on the grounds that they cause silicosis disease. In our country, the use of minerals containing free silica was banned by the Ministry of Health in 2009. It is environmentally friendly. It has no harmful effects on the environment. The grain shape of the olivine is angular and this feature significantly increases the surface cleaning speed. The hardness of olivine is 6.5 -7, which is an important feature for its use as an abrasive material and ensures high efficiency in surface cleaning.

Casting Sand made of olivine, with its sintering point at 1450 �ºC and melting point above 1760 �ºC, provides excellent performance in iron castings (grey cast iron, nodular cast iron, tempered cast iron) and also performs well in non- ferrous castings. Using olivine as casting sand, it contributes significantly to casting companies both financially and in terms of quality. Especially in Mn castings, olivine is the definitive solution in these castings where surface roughness is important. In addition, molds made of Olivine are preferred in problematic situations between the metal materials poured during casting and the mold. Silica-containing sands react with the metal during casting, while the olivine mold does not allow the metal to enter into its body. As Olivine's high magnesium content olivine sand, when used with clays, increases its binding properties and significantly reduces the need for bentonite. Olivine's basic nature makes it an ideal choice for manganese steel production. In contrast to silica sand, olivine sand does not interact with manganese steels, keeping surface grinding costs to a minimum and giving high cleanliness casting results. Fine grain olivine sand is also commonly used in brass, bronze and aluminum castings. This is relatively due to the moisture-free properties of the material and the angularity of the particles. This property provides consistency and low permeability, resulting in castings with very good surface treatment. The angular particles of olivine sand, even when thoroughly crushed, ensure that it is still gas permeable after forging, which plays a very important role in the escape of steam in castings. Olivine has a much higher return rate than silica sand. This is due to less upheaval and less distortion in thermal shocks.
We are supplier and exporter of Silica Sand. Silica Sand * Silica Sand is a type of sand usually available in the form of quartz. It is a hard and crystalline form of mineral components. * Silica sand is the most abundant mineral with the purity more than 99.0%. It is the preferred choice of consumption for various industrial purposes.
Micro Silica Sand: Micro silica also known as fume, is an amorphous (non-crystalline) polymorph of silicon dioxide, silica. It is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production and consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 mm. The main field of application is as pozzolanic for high performance concrete because of its extreme fineness and high silica. Applications : Silica is added to Portland cement concrete to improve its properties, in particular its compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance. These improvements stem from both the mechanical improvements resulting from addition of a very fine powder to the cement paste mix as well as from the pozzolanic reactions between the silica fume and free calcium hydroxide in the paste. Advantages : Addition of silica also reduces the permeability of concrete to chloride ions, which protects the reinforcing steel of concrete from corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as coastal regions and those of humid continental roadways and runways (because of the use of deicing salts) and saltwater bridges.
