Artificial sand is increasingly used in construction, but do you know its English names?

The most widely used terms are artificial sand and manufactured sand.
In daily industry communication, the shorthand M-sand is also very common.
Occasionally, it may be called synthetic sand, but this expression is not mainstream in construction scenarios.
Different from natural sand formed by long-term natural erosion,
artificial sand is made by crushing, screening and washing hard materials like rocks or mine residues.
Due to the shortage of natural sand resources and stricter environmental protection requirements,
it has become a popular substitute in the global construction field.
