Abstract

This project is to produce tertiary alloy of Zinc-Aluminium-Magnesium Zn-3AI-2Mg with different composition of bentonite and silica sand in the green sand mould. Zn alloy casting industry using green sand moulding is increasingly becoming to very competitive circumstances due to the various casting methods such as die cast sand mould and so on with the recent coming of the lightening demand in automotive and decorative industry. However Zn alloy casting using green sand still now plays an important role in the foundry society because it allows us to manufacture at low cost and also sand can be recycled. Furthermore it is appropriate method for multi kind and small quantity production. The mentioned method of mould is differing in composition of bentonite with 5-7 Differ in the composition of bentonite and silica sand gives differ in result. The physical properties are obtains from the surface and the hardness test. The lowest and highest percentage of bentonite give a dull surface properties compare to the in between. The shiniest surface is from the 11 of bentonite. Meanwhile for the hardness test the results show the same with the surface properties.
