Metal casting with Green sand mold is essential for participation in the manufacturing industry that requires natural resources and chemicals as an element. This research studied the effects of the right mix of mangosteen shell powder on green sand mold. The objective is to study and analyze the mixture of moist sand formations consisting of natural sand bentonite mangosteen shell powder and water affecting the properties of green sand mold by experiment method. Starting from studying relevant information of natural materials that affect sand mold and planning experimental design by using the experimental design program for the trial version in the experimental design and analyze results. The results showed that mangosteen peel powder had an effect on the properties Compression strength and higher hardness of sand mold but does not increase the ability to release a lot of air permeability The optimum blend ratio was composed of 90% reused sand 7% bentonite 1% water and 2% mangosteen powder by weight air permeability. The hardness of the sand casting was 0.71 kg/cm2 47.36 and 94.06 Scale B respectively.

This research aimed to determine the optimal sand mold mixture’s ratio by using return sand bentonite water content and new sand component. Then the properties of the mixture according to the standards of American Foundrymen’s Society include the ability of compactability moisture content permeability and green compressive strength. This study applied mixture experiments and response surface methodology to determine an optimal sand mold mixture components condition. After the experiment and linear programming it indicated that the condition was at return sand (95.5387 %) bentonite (1.130102 %) water content (2.331196 %) and new sand (1 %). The green sand mold has compactability (58.37923 %) permeability (73.80148 %) moisture 6.5 % and green compressive strength (0.53 Kg/cm2). At this condition the cost is 11.31579 baths per kilogram.
