Black Foundry Chromite sand is a high-quality sand primarily composed of chromite (FeCrO), a naturally occurring mineral that is rich in iron and chromium. It is widely used in the foundry industry for manufacturing molds and cores due to its excellent refractory properties, high melting point, and ability to withstand thermal shock. This makes it ideal for casting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, particularly in high-temperature processes. Chromite sand's low thermal expansion and good wear resistance also make it suitable for steel and alloy casting.
Additionally, its resistance to chemical reactions at high temperatures enhances the durability and precision of molds, providing superior surface finishes for metal castings.
Chromite is a mineral that is an iron chromium oxide having a wide range of versatile application in major industries around the world, especially steel industries for the manufacturing of stainless steel. It has a chemical formula of FeCr2O4. It is an oxide mineral belonging to the spinel group. The element magnesium can substitute for iron in variable amounts as it forms a solid solution with magnesiochromite(MgCr2O4).
Chromite today is mined particularly to make stainless steel through the production of ferrochrome (FeCr), which is an iron-chromium alloy. Chromite grains are commonly found in large mafic igneous intrusions such as the Bushveld in South Africa and Travancore in India. Chromite is iron-black in color with a metallic luster, a dark brown streak and hardness on the Mohs scale of 5.5. We offer a wide range of high quality Chromite ore in all the grades such as metallurgical grade, refractory grade, chemical grade and foundry grade.
