Within the specialized production environment of foundries, castings for diverse industries are manufactured using a variety of raw materials. These centers have a wide range of operations, from creating highly complex individual parts to conducting mass production.
To achieve uniform surface quality at the final stage of machining, several casting processes have adopted precise surface treatment measures. These measures are aimed at fulfilling expected performance requirements while complying with high standards for dimensional accuracy, mechanical load capacity, and surface quality.
In the process of achieving the desired surface effect, the selection of suitable abrasive materials proves to be crucial for an effective surface treatment procedure.

Investment casting is a process for creating complex metal components by forming a ceramic mold or pattern to produce the desired metal parts. Fused minerals play a critical role in the construction of the ceramic shell during this process. This ceramic shell is composed of various fused materials, ensuring its ability to withstand extremely high temperatures throughout the heating and casting stages.
Once the ceramic shell is removed, the metal component is exposed and often requires polishing or final processing with an abrasive material to achieve the desired finish.
Metallurgia
Metallurgy is a technique or scientific field focused on heating metals to form specific desired shapes or characteristics, used for synthesizing alloys or extracting metals from their ores. Silicon Carbide is utilized in the electric furnace production of gray iron, ductile iron, or malleable iron and steel. It serves as a premium source of silicon and carbon, offering metallurgical advantages to the metal and extending the life of the furnace lining due to its exceptional deoxidizing power.
As a result of its significant potential for cost savings as a slag reductant, an additional energy source, and a substitute for ferrosilicon, the application of SiC in the production of carbon and alloy steels continues to grow.

Foundries melt iron ore, scrap iron, and scrap steel in high-temperature furnaces to produce molten iron. Impurities contained in the slag generated during the melting process must be eliminated from the molten iron. Silicon carbide plays a crucial role as a metallurgical additive, as its silicon and carbon molecules react with impurities in the molten metal slag, aiding in the removal of contaminants and enhancing the yield of iron.
Furthermore, silicon carbide has the ability to release metal oxides trapped within the slag, generating additional energy to facilitate the melting process. Additionally, silicon carbide improves the metallurgical characteristics across all grades of iron.
