Mica Strainer Cores are suitably used by metal casting foundries for brass, bronze, and aluminum sand castings as well as for some smaller ferrous castings to \u00a0catch impurities and control the pour rate. They act as both a choke and a strainer during pour, eliminating gating costs, dross, contamination, \u00a0and reducing polishing belt costs – all while producing a better and brighter casting.
\nThey can be placed over the sprue hole with no recess needed. They also provide easy access to skim off with 100% metal recovery in the re-melt. The mica strainer cores are a thin, inorganic, non-contaminating, non-moisture absorbent, material which provide easy handling and\u00a0storing. Some of the popular shapes and sizes of mica strainer cores in the foundry are:<\/p>\n
