Tolessen the incidence of expansion defects such as “rat-talling’ and seabbing, What quality standards apply to coal dust? Volatile matter Good surface finish on castings obtained by the use of coal dust, depends ona high volatile matter content. Coal dust for foundry use generally has a minimum of 80 per cent volatile matter. Ash content The ash content of foundry coal dusts should not exéeed approximately 10 per cont. Sulphur content Pick-up of sulphur by the metal al the mould face from coal dust of high sulphur Content can cause defects. The sulphur content of foundry coal dust should therefore be restricted to about 10 per cent maximum.
