CIC has developed a unique and growing range of material qualities for most applications. Core body selection depends on application and core geometery. Most products can be tailored to achieve customer specific shrinkages. All cores are 100% leachable and tests have shown that CIC cores can be leached up to 30% faster than those from other suppliers.
Shown below are some examples of products we have produced.
Below is a table showing our standard product mixes. Mixes can be varied to suit a customer's needs.
| Mix | Description | Use |
| CIC1 | Used for large land base type cores with good stability | Nickel-based equiax, DS (directional solidification) castings |
| CIC2 | High silica core material | Nickel-based equiax, DS alloys |
| CIC3 | Silica-based core material with high temperature stability | Nickel-based equiax, DS and SX (single crystal) castings |
| CIC4 | Silica-based core material with good high temperature stability | DS and SX castings |
| CIC5 | Silica-based core material with good high temperature stability. Particularly suited where hot tearing is a problem | Nickel-based equiax, DS and SX castings |
All products can be strengthened by one of two treatments that increase strength by a factor of up to 4 times.
