The cure duration for furan-sand molds is shorter than the drying time required for green-sand molds. Furan-sand molds often result in castings with smoother and cleaner surface finishes due to reduced mold surface defects. Resin-sand molds are less prone to deformation or mold collapse during metal pouring, leading to higher …
