As a foundry aggregate, olivine is noted for its high fusion point, low uniform thermal expansion and its remarkable ability to resist fracture from thermal shock. Olivine has been famous for years in producing excellent non-ferrous castings. Today more foundry men are realizing that olivine works equally well in iron, manganese and stainless steel.
