Improve production efficiency:
Quick-drying silica sol has a faster drying speed, which can significantly shorten the preparation time before casting, thereby speeding up production progress. Under the same temperature and humidity conditions, the drying time of quick-drying silica sol can be reduced by more than 30% compared with ordinary silica sol, and even under certain specific conditions, the drying speed can be increased by more than 50%.
A shorter drying cycle means a faster production cycle, which helps companies improve production efficiency and respond quickly to market demand.
Improve casting accuracy and surface quality:
Quick-drying silica sol can provide higher casting accuracy and surface finish. The surface of the casting is smooth and it is not easy to produce defects such as sand holes, which reduces the difficulty and cost of subsequent processing.
Silica sol has excellent fluidity and can better fill the fine structure of the mold to ensure that the details of the casting are effectively reproduced, which is suitable for the production of castings with complex shapes.
Environmental protection:
Quick-drying silica sol shows good environmental friendliness during the casting process. Compared with some traditional casting materials (such as resin sand), silica sol does not release harmful gases during the curing process, which is more in line with the environmental protection requirements of modern industry.
Improve casting quality:
The wet strength of the quick-drying silica sol shell is high, the residual strength is low, and it is easy to peel off, which helps to improve the yield rate.
The use of quick-drying silica sol can reduce defects such as flying wings and rat tails produced in the casting process, and improve the overall quality of the casting.
Wide range of applications:
Quick-drying silica sol is not only suitable for stainless steel precision casting, but also for precision casting of various metals such as copper alloys and aluminum alloys.
Its excellent performance makes quick-drying silica sol have a wide range of application prospects in fields with high precision requirements such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, and machinery manufacturing.
Cost-effectiveness:
Although the initial cost of quick-drying silica sol may be high, considering its advantages in improving production efficiency, reducing subsequent processing costs, and improving casting quality, it has obvious cost-effectiveness in the long run.
