Metal penetration is caused due to the penetration of molten metal into gaps of sand grains. In experinents metal pemetration was studied on heavy steel castings. Experimental results were as follows :
1) Metal penetration was probably caused due to the penetration of molten steel into the gaps of sand grains.
2) In case molding sand consisted of silica sand and chromite sand, there occurred fusion as well as metal penetration. In contrast to this, metal penetration took place without the of fusion, in case molding sand consited of nothing but zircon.
3) Neither zircon sand nor chromite sand did always show higher resistance to metal penetration than silica sand, as far as sand of a similar grain size was concerned.
4) Addition of starch had no favourable effect upon metal penetration.
