Evaluation of the Effect of Starch as Binder in Sand Casting of Aluminium

This study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of cassava starch as an organic binder in sand preparation for aluminium casting, emphasising its influence on key mould properties, moisture content and green compressive strength and overall casting quality. Silica sand mixtures were prepared with cassava starch at 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% by weigh...
