In casting industry the selection of mold material and molding method is challenging task. There are several types of molding methods, but over 70% of all metal castings are generally developed by means of sand molding (sand casting). Sand casting has two processes such as, green sand casting and chemically bonded sand casting process. This paper focuses on chemically bonded sand casting i.e. no-bake sand system (self-hardening system), among from all types of no-bake sand system, alkaline phenolic ester cured (ALPHASET) and furan acid cured no-bake system are preferably discussed. Curing mechanism of all type of no-bake systems are shown along with detailing about ALPHASET and furan no-bake sand system.
