Application of cores and binders in metalcasting

1. Overview: 2. Research Background: In metalcasting, cores are essential components utilized to create internal geometries and voids within cast products. The selection and performance of cores are significantly influenced by the casting technique employed, ranging from gravity casting to high pressure die casting. As component designs become increasingly complex and environmental regulations more stringent,
