Green Sand castings process is performed by using sand moulds formed from “wet” sand which contains water and organic bonding compounds, typically referred to as clay. The “Green” of Green Sand Moulding is not in reference to the colour of sand but relates the sands state. The name relates to the fact that the sand mould is not “set”, it is still in the “green” or uncured state even when the metal is poured in the mould.
The Hard Sand moulding process can have specific advantages over other manufacturing processes, which often lead to major cost savings, not only in the part price itself but also in the overall cost of production. Some of the benefits are in the processes flexibility:
