We have unique research activities around sand material that is used for sand casting. In our JUCAST labs we have the possibility of making sand moulds and also investigating sand materials.

This includes a sand maxer, Sieve shaker (LPz-3e model; 295 dia, for up to 8 kg aggregate sand sample), and compression instrument for making test samples from sand material.

In our characterization labs, we have the possibility to look into the thermo-mechanical performance of sand material and also analytical microscopy.
