The importance of foundry coating in improving the surface quality of castings cannot be overemphasized. The application of mould and core washes creates a high thermal integrity barrier between the metal and the mould, resulting in the reduction of the thermal shock experienced by the sand system. These thermal shocks lead to a series of surface defects such as veining/finning, metal penetration, burn-on/in, scab, rat tail, and erosion. The use of coatings reduces the tendency for these defects to occur. However, understanding the coating, its components, characteristics, and mechanism of action is crucial. This review provides a detailed description of these topics along with necessary examples. Additionally, a potential area of research in foundry coating development, using the sol-gel process, is suggested. The application of sol-gel technology in developing foundry coatings represents a novel and promising approach.
