Manganese Steel Casting
Manganese Steel Casting
(OP)
Hello,
I'm trying to cast Manganese Steel (~ 1,2%C, 12%Mn) and I was told that using Furanic Resin bonded silica sand moulds causes gas emissions during solidification. (due to some kind of reaction manganese steel has with these resins.)
Is this actually happening? Does anybody know?
(I only knew about Hydrogen emissions in open hearth furnaces.)

MgO < 10%
Al203 > 85%
Residue~ 1%
Also I am using a caustic calcined magnesia based coating in the mould.

You can use some proprietary ready mix for mold and core wash. Also try to follow ed's suggestion.
What is the casting you are manufacturing and how do you check for defects?

Will try to find appropriate mix.
Thanks for the advice.
