BLG Grade for Cast Iron/ S.G. Iron/ Alloy Cast Iron
It is suitable for Turbine housing castings where the thickness of the core varies from
3" to ½ ". The cores will not break when the casting is poured. Also suitable for Valve Guide, Rocker Arm, Crankshaft, Camshaft etc. The sand exhibits slow rate of gas evolution.

ADVANTAGES:
Good H.T.S. and gives high C.T.S.
Breakages of cores is reduced and so sand consumption is reduced.
Good surface finish very near to investment casting.
Low gas & Low Nitrogen content.
Cores do not crack while joining by screws.
No porosity in the cores as the sand has good flowability.
Rejections are very low.
This grade is suitable for Body Spool Casting, Rocker Arm, Water Jacket, Camshaft,
Crankshaft, Tappet, Turbine Housing, Valve Guide.
