The basic component of zirconium sand is zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4), which has a variety of properties suitable for casting raw sand, such as:
(1) The surface is smooth, there are few cracks and pits, so the amount of binder consumed is very small.
(2) Among all kinds of natural casting sand, its thermal expansion rate is the smallest, and the thermal stability at high temperature is excellent.
(3) Not wetted by molten metal.
(4) Good thermochemical stability, basically not eroded by metal oxides at the pouring temperature of general casting alloys.
