Improvement and comparative analysis of River Benue Foundry sand using Guinea-Corn, Cassava Maize as binders in casting
International journal of applied research · 2015 · Vol. 1(8) · pp. 712–714
Abstract
River Benue Foundry sand prepared using clay materials were found lacking in certain properties like: dry compression strength, shatter index and permeability. Investigations were conducted using Guineacorn, Cassava and Maize as binders to improve the properties of this sand. The results showed that Cassava and Guinea-corn were more effective when added in liquid starch form as they improve the foundry properties of the sand.
