Filler sand made primarily with chrome ore is called chromite-based sand. Its advantages include good fluidity, high density, high melting point, and resistance to over-sintering. At high temperatures, the FeO component of chrome sand forms a secondary spinel that changes the volume of the sintered layer. This can cause cracking when the slide ...

Typical foundry grade chromite sands will show a weight gain of 0.5 to 1.0 in a standard LOI test. • To avoid oxidation reactions, chromite sands can be heated under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen. Under these conditions a high quality foundry chromite sand will experience a minimal weight loss of 0 to 0.2%

The Reserve to Resource ratio which, as per mineral exploration practice, should be over 50% is woefully low for most of the minerals. For instance it is 17% for bauxite, 14% for copper, 24% for iron 14% for lead-Zinc, 8% for limestone and 30% for chromite etc. This calls for highly focused exploration strategy at high confidence level.

Chromite is the primary source of chromium, and applications in hard rustles …

Chromite is found in beach sands derived from the weathering of chromite-bearing rocks and laterite soils that developed over peridotite. Beach sand rich in chromite and other …

Geophysical methods are known to play an indispensable role in mineral exploration. Over the years, they have undergone a phenomenal improvement in the design and development of equipment, methods and precision of data acquisition, processing and interpretation. Every geophysical method is directly or implicitly related to …

Foundry grade chromite sand is a complex compound of various elements; chromium (Cr 2 O 3 ), aluminium (Al 2 O 3 ), silica (SiO 2 ), and magnesium oxide (MgO). Chrome's resilient characteristics make it the material of choice for many foundry applications. It is also used in molds for automotive castings and as a well filler in steel production.

Foundry Chromite Sand is a natural spinel dominated by chromite sand from South Africa. It is a high-performance casting sand for foundies. After crushing, grinding, and sieving in our factory in China, it is divided into prescribed grain sizes and suitable for foundry. The grain size range is controlled by the AFS fineness standard. With high Cr2O3 (≥46.0%) …

As the modal chromite content of these rocks is about 85%, this means that the matrix must have been highly enriched in PGE relative to the chromite. For example, if the whole rock chondrite-normalized Pd content before alteration was 0.1, and after alteration was 0.01, and we assume that all of the remaining Pd is in the chromite, then …

Hevi-Sand®. Hevi-Sand® Chromite Sand is a versatile, unique aggregate, unlike ordinary chromite sands. Hevi-Sand is the only chromite brand that offers your business full life-cycle support.

The Hongshishan mafic-ultramafic complex is located in the western Beishan Terrane, NW China, and hosts an economic Ni-Cu deposit. Chromite as accessory mineral from the complex is divided into three types based on its occurrence and morphology. Quantitative electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) have been conducted on the different …

The chromite sands have an average density of 1.96 tonnes/m 3 equivalent to a total 148.1 million tonnes of chromite bearing sediment. This report also reported additional inferred resources at the Mouea project area of 47.3 million tonnes of chromite bearing sediment containing 1.53 million tonnes of chromium oxide.

As mentioned previously, the most important indicator minerals for kimberlite exploration are garnet, chromite, ilmenite, Cr-diopside and olivine (Fig. 3). Cr-diopside and olivine break down rapidly in most surface environments and, other than in frigid arctic or sub-arctic conditions, are generally not transported significant distances from ...

The Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC) is known for its laterally extensive platinum group element–bearing layers, the most famous being the Merensky Reef and the UG-2 chromitite in the eastern and western limbs of the complex.
