...C. A newer method of making cores is to bind the core by passing CO2 through it. A wide range of productivity is obtainable from machine mouldings using apparatus such as hand-operated “jolt-squeeze” to massive industrial plant. Plant and tooling costs are always high. Chemically bonded sands (sodium silicate/CO2 process) produce hard moulds with good dimensional...
