Fabrication and characterization of high-strength water-soluble composite salt core for zinc alloy die castings

Suo Tu,  Fuchu Liu,  Guanjin Li,  Wenming Jiang,  Xinwang Liu &  Zitian Fan  Abstract A water-soluble salt core (WSSC) strengthened by reinforcing particles, including bauxite powder, glass fiber powder, and sericite powder, was fabricated by gravity-casting process. The surface quality, bending strength, water solubility, humidity resistance, and shrinkage rate of WSSC were investigated, and the synergistic
