Sand Casting process depends mainly on properties of the green sand mould, sand casting requires producing green sand mould without failure and breakage during separation the mould from the model, transportation and handling. Production of the green sand mould corresponding to dimensions and form of the desired model without troubles depends on the properties of the green sand. Ratio of constituents, preparation method of the green sand, mixing and pressing processes determine properties of green sand. In the present work, study effect of the moulding parameters of bentonite content, mixing time, and compactability percentage on the properties of the green sand mould have been investigated. Design of experiments through Taguchi method was used to evaluate properties of permeability, compressive strength, and tensile strength of the green sand. It was found that 47% of compactability, 9(min) of mixing time, and 6% of bentonite content gives highest values of these properties simultaneously.

The current trend in the preparation of green sand mixtures emphasizes the acceleration of the mixing process while maintaining the quality of the mixture. This requirement results in the necessity of determining the optimal conditions for mixing the mixture with a given mixer. This work aims to determine the optimal mixing conditions for the newly introduced eddy mixer LM-3e from the company Multiserw-Morek in the sand laboratory at the Department of Metallurgical Technologies, Faculty of Materials and Technology, VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava. The main monitored properties of mixtures will be green compressive strength and moisture of the mixture. The measured properties of the mixture mixed on the eddy mixer will be compared with the properties of the mixture mixed on the existing LM-2e wheel mixer. The result of the experiment confirmed that the eddy mixer is suitable for the preparation of a mixture of the same quality as the wheel mixer but with a significantly reduced mixing time.

Green moulding sands containing special carbonaceous additives, which are the source of lustrous carbon (LC), are discussed in this paper. Five potential lustrous carbon carriers, i.e., two types of hard coal dust (No.1 and No.2), amorphous graphite (No.3) and two hydrocarbon resins (No.4 and No.5), were selected for tests as carbonaceous additives to conventional moulding sands. To better emphasize the differences in the additives used, reference green moulding sand (GMS1) was prepared and subjected to a wide range of basic tests focussed on technological parameters, such as permeability (Pw), friability (Fw), Dietert mouldability test (PD) and compactability (Z) and mechanical parameters, such as compressive strength (Rcw), tensile strength (Rmw), strength in the transformation zone (Rkw). The proposed comprehensive spectrum of tests was repeated on sands with five carbonaceous additives. The most important for the use of additives as carbon carriers was to interrelate the content of lustrous carbon (LC), loss on ignition (LOI) and the obtained results of mechanical and technological tests carried out on conventional moulding sands with the surface quality of iron castings. For this purpose, a series of iron castings was made in the prepared moulding sands and used for the assessment of surface quality based on a number of roughness parameters (Ra, Rz, Rp, Rq, Rv, Rlr, RSm). As a result of the studies it was found that the carbonaceous additives proposed for use help to obtain high-quality surfaces in iron castings.

The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the primary quality of reclaim from dry mechanical reclamation on the strength properties and service life of moulding sands based on this reclaim. Another aim was to establish the effect of the quality of reclaim, sulphur content - in particular, on the surface quality and thickness of the deformed surface layer in ductile iron castings. The research has revealed differences in the strength parameters and service life (mouldability) of sands based on the tested reclaims, depending on the type of the furfuryl resin used, including resins whose synthesis was done as part of the Żywfur project. Examinations of the structure of the surface layer of test castings poured in moulds made of loose self-hardening sands containing the addition of reclaim have confirmed the occurrence of degenerated spheroidal graphite in this part of the casting. It should be noted here that when massive castings with a long solidification time are made, the graphite degeneration effect can be more visible and the layer with the changed structure can increase in thickness. The research has clearly shown that it is necessary to control the parameters of the reclaim, including sulphur content which is transferred from the hardener and accumulates on the grains. This phenomenon has a negative impact not only on the sand strength and technological properties but also on the surface layer of castings.

Sand molding casting has been widely used for a long time. But, one of its main drawbacks is that surface quality of the castings is not good enough for some applications. The purposes of this research were to investigate the effect of addition of sawdust ash of rubber wood (SARW) on molding sand properties and the surface quality of iron castings and to find an appropriate level of SARW with the appropriate properties of the iron castings. The molding sand compositions for making a sand mold consisted of the recycled molding sand, bentonite, water and SARW. The percentage levels of SARW were 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4%. The different proportions of molding sand samples were investigated for the molding sand properties including permeability, compression strength and hardness. The results showed that addition of SARW had an effect on the molding sand properties. The appropriate percentage proportion of molding sand was obtained at 95.8% recycled molding sand, 0.8% bentonite, 3% water and 0.4% SARW. There were statistically significant differences of mean surface roughness and hardness values of the iron castings made from molding sand samples without SARW addition and the appropriate percentage proportion of molding sand. In addition, the average surface roughness value of the iron castings made from the sand mold with the appropriate percentage proportion of molding sand was ~40% lower than those of the iron castings made from molding sand samples without SARW addition.

The aim of this paper is to determine the influence of biomaterial in the binder composition on the quality of reclaim from furan no-bake sands. The biomaterial is introduced into the moulding sand in order to accelerate the biodegradation of post-regeneration dust and thus to reduce the amount of harmful waste from foundries in landfills. This addition, however, can’t deteriorate the technological properties of the moulding sand, including its ability to mechanical regeneration. Chemically bonded moulding sands are characterized by high ability to mechanical regeneration, which reduces the consumption of the raw material and costs related to their transport and storage. A side effect of the regeneration process is the formation of a large amount of post-regeneration dusts. According to the tendencies observed in recent years, moulding processes must meet high requirements connected to environmental protection including problems related to the disposal of generated wastes. A partial replacement of synthetic binding materials with biomaterials may be one of scientific research directions on the production of innovative foundry moulding and core sands. The conducted regeneration tests presented in this paper initially proved that biomaterial slightly decreases the quality of reclaim from moulding sand with its addition. However, its ability to regeneration increases with time of the process. In previous research authors tested biodegradability of the dust remaining after the regeneration process. The tests proved that moulding sand with biomaterial added at the stage of the production process is characterized by about three times better biodegradability than the same moulding sand without additive.

Tematem niniejszej pracy jest określenie wpływu dodatku biomateriału (PCL) do spoiwa na jakość regeneratu z samoutwardzalnych mas furanowych. Zadaniem biomateriału jest przyspieszenie biodegradacji pyłów poregeneracyjnych i tym samym doprowadzenie do zredukowania na składowiskach ilości szkodliwych odpadów pochodzących z odlewni. Dodatek ten nie może jednak pogarszać właściwości technologicznych masy, w tym jej zdolności do regeneracji mechanicznej. Autorzy przeprowadzili proces regeneracji mechanicznej, a następnie badaniom poddali regeneraty z mas formierskich utwardzanych chemicznie przeznaczonych do produkcji wielkogabarytowych odlewów żeliwnych. Odlewy żeliwne znajdują szerokie zastosowanie w motoryzacji, transporcie morskim i kolejowym, w energetyce, rolnictwie oraz budownictwie. Produkcja odlewu wielkogabarytowego o złożonym kształcie, charakteryzującego się wysoką jakością przy zachowaniu wymaganych właściwości użytkowych, obejmuje wiele etapów procesu produkcyjnego. Jednym z nich jest odpowiedni dobór technologii mas formierskich i rdzeniowych. Masy formierskie i rdzeniowe wykorzystywane są do produkcji odlewów w około 80% wszystkich odlewni. Największą ilość odpadów wytwarzanych w odlewniach stanowi zużyta masa formierska / rdzeniowa i sięga ona czasem nawet 90%. Przyjmuje się, że średnio z 1 Mg odlewów powstaje 0,6-1,0 Mg zużytej masy [4, 5], a według [2] do wyprodukowania 1 kg odlewu potrzeba około 4 kg masy formierskiej. Światowa produkcja odlewów wynosi około 100 mln Mg [2, 6], w tym odlewy żeliwne w masach formierskich utwardzanych chemicznie w ilości 30 mln Mg, co przy założeniu stopnia regeneracji na poziomie 40-50% daje 15-18 mln Mg zużytego piasku [4]. Prezentowany w pracy temat poświęcony jest materiałom pochodzącym z procesu odlewania do form piaskowych wykonanych z piasku kwarcowego ze spoiwem organicznym na bazie żywicy modyfikowanej alkoholem furfurylowym, utwardzanej mieszaniną kwasów zawierających siarkę.

The foundry industry is looking for solutions that improve the quality of the finished product and solutions that reduce the negative impact of the industry on the natural environment [26]. This process leads to work on the use of new or previously unused materials for binders. Organic and inorganic foundry binders are replaced by renewable materials of plant origin to meet the requirements of both the foundry customers and the environmental and health and safety regulations. The aim of this work was to identify the applicability of renewable and organic malted barley binder in moulding sand technology. The influence of the malt binder content on dry tensile strength, dry bending strength, dry permeability, dry wear resistance and flowability were evaluated. The results show that the malted barley binder can be self contained material binding the high-silica sand grains. Selected mechanical properties of moulding sands were found to increase with an increase in binder content. It was observed that malted barley binder creates smooth bonding bridges between high-silica sand grains.

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the possibility of using Environmentally friendIy molding sands with hydrostated sodium silicate for ablation casting molds. The ablation casting technology is intended primarily for making casts in sand molds with diversified wall thickness and complex shapes. This paper presents the effect of binder content and curing time on the bending strength Rg of molding sands with binders based on hydrated sodium silicate hardened in microwave curing technology. The aim of the research is to develop an optimal molding sand composition that will provide the strength necessary to form a mold for carrying out the ablative casting process. the applied sands must simultaneously guarantee the susceptibility of the mold to the destructive action of the ablative medium, which is water. The tests have shown that microwave curing provides satisfactory strengths with low binder content.

Gas atmosphere at the sand mould/cast alloy interface determines the quality of the casting obtained. Therefore the aim of this study was to measure and evaluate the gas forming tendency of selected moulding sands with alkyd resins. During direct and indirect gas measurements, the kinetics of gas evolution was recorded as a function of the temperature of the sand mixture undergoing the process of thermal destruction. The content of hydrogen and oxygen was continuously monitored to establish the type of the atmosphere created by the evolved gases (oxidizing/reducing). The existing research methodology [1, 7, 8] has been extended to include pressure-assisted technique of indirect measurement of the gas evolution rate. For this part of the studies, a new concept of the measurement was designed and tested. This article presents the results of measurements and compares gas emissions from two sand mixtures containing alkyd resins known under the trade name SL and SL2002, in which the polymerization process is initiated with isocyanate. Studies of the gas forming tendency were carried out by three methods on three test stands to record the gas evolution kinetics and evaluate the risk of gas formation in a moulding or core sand. Proprietary methods for indirect evaluation of the gas forming tendency have demonstrated a number of beneficial aspects, mainly due to the ability to record the quantity and composition of the evolved gases in real time and under stable and reproducible measurement conditions. Direct measurement of gas evolution rate from the tested sands during cast iron pouring process enables a comparison of the results with the results obtained by indirect methods.

The paper presents the results of an investigation of the thermal deformation of moulding sands with an inorganic (geopolymer) binder with a relaxation additive, whose main task is to reduce the final (residual) strength and improves knocking-out properties of moulding sand. The moulding sand without a relaxation additive was the reference point. The research was carried out using the hot-distortion method (DMA apparatus from Multiserw-Morek). The results were combined with linear deformation studies with determination of the linear expansion factor (Netzsch DIL 402C dilatometer). The study showed that the introduction of relaxation additive has a positive effect on the thermal stability of moulding sand by limiting the measured deformation value, in relation to the moulding sand without additive. In addition, a relaxation additive slightly changes the course of the dilatometric curve. Change in the linear dimension of the moulding sand sample with the relaxation additive differs by only 0.05%, in comparison to the moulding sand without additive.

The constant growth of foundry modernization, mechanization and automation is followed with growing requirements for the quality and parameters of both moulding and core sands. Due to this changes it is necessary to widen the requirements for the parameters used for their quality evaluation by widening the testing of the moulding and core sands with the measurement of their resistance to mechanical deformation (further called elasticity). Following article covers measurements of this parameter in chosen moulding and core sands with different types of binders. It focuses on the differences in elasticity, bending strength and type of bond destruction (adhesive/cohesive) between different mixtures, and its connection to the applied bonding agent. Moulding and cores sands on which the most focus is placed on are primarily the self-hardening moulding sands with organic and inorganic binders, belonging to the group of universal applications (used as both moulding and core sands) and mixtures used in cold-box technology.

The subject of this paper was to compare the influence of selected coatings on bending strength of moulds and cores manufactured in a furan technology. In a range of study, there were used three kinds of coatings - water based coating and two kind of alcohol based coating manufactured by FOSECO. Coating were applicated by brush, overpouring/flow and spraying. For each application method, there were realized different kind of drying- at ambient temperature, in a furnace and by burning. Physicochemical properties of coatings were such selected to accommodate them to the application method and type of coating. Based on the conducted studies it was observed that for water based coating application method doesn’t have an important influence on bending strength and it is necessary to optimize the time and temperature of drying to achieve better results of bending strength. For alcohol based coatings, drying by burning causes significant deterioration of bending strength of the mould and core and drying process at ambient allows to obtain high bending strength of mould/cores in regard to time of drying.

In the knock-out process, as well as in the preliminary phase of moulding sand reclamation, the issue of energy demand for the process of crushing used sand agglutinations, preferably to single grains, is particularly important. At present, numerical values of moulding sand impact resistance, which would allow energy-related aspects of this process to be forecast, are not known, as such research has not been carried out. It seems that impact resistance tested on very small cross-section samples, which allows us to very precisely reveal some unique features of a moulding sand with organic and inorganic binders, is an important parameter, which so far has not been taken into account for evaluation of mechanical properties of moulding sands. Preliminary attempts to determine impact resistance of moulding sands have been carried out as part of own research of the author. The conducted investigations aimed at determining the relationships between the obtained values of tensile strength and impact resistance of moulding sands. In addition, the effect of holding samples at temperatures of 100oC, 200oC, 300oC on the value of impact resistance was determined, both for sands made with fresh and with reclaimed sand grains.

The essence of ablation casting technology consists in pouring castings in single-use moulds made from the mixture of sand and a water-soluble binder. After pouring the mould with liquid metal, while the casting is still solidifying, the mould destruction (washing out, erosion) takes place using a stream of cooling medium, which in this case is water. This paper focuses on the selection of moulding sands with hydrated sodium silicate for moulds used in the ablation casting. The research is based on the use of Cordis binder produced by the Hüttenes-Albertus Company. It is a new-generation inorganic binder based on hydrated sodium silicate. Its hardening takes place under the effect of high temperature. As part of the research, loose moulding mixtures based on the silica sand with different content of Cordis binder and special Anorgit additive were prepared. The reference material was sand mixture without the additive. The review of literature data and the results of own studies have shown that moulding sand with hydrated sodium silicate hardened by dehydration is characterized by sufficient strength properties to be used in the ablation casting process. Additionally, at the Foundry Research Institute in Krakow, preliminary semi-industrial tests were carried out on the use of Cordis sand technology in the manufacture of moulds for ablation casting. The possibility to use these sand mixtures has been confirmed in terms of both casting surface quality and sand reclamation.

Measurements of the hardening process course of the selected self-hardening moulding sands with the reclaimed material additions to the matrix, are presented in the hereby paper. Moulding sands were produced on the „Szczakowa” sand (of the Sibelco Company) as the matrix of the main fraction FG 0,40/0,32/0,20, while the reclaim was added to it in amounts of 20, 50 and 70%. Regeneration was performed with a horizontal mechanical regenerator capacity of 10 t/h. In addition, two moulding sands, one on the fresh sand matrix another on the reclaimed matrix, were prepared for comparison. Highly-fluid urea-furfuryl resin was used as a binder, while paratoluensulphonic acid as a hardener. During investigations the hardening process course was determined, it means the wave velocity change in time: cL = f(t). The hardening process kinetics was also assessed (dClx/dt = f(t)). Investigations were carried out on the research stand for ultrasound tests. In addition strength tests were performed.

Autorzy opracowali oryginalną metodę i sposób prowadzenia badania kinetyki wydzielania się gazów z materiałów stosowanych w technologii form poddawanych intensywnemu nagrzewaniu. Do tych materiałów pracy zalicza się masy formierskie oraz powłoki ochronne stosowane na formy i rdzenia piaskowe lub formy metalowe zalewane grawitacyjnie. Badania prowadzone są dwutorowo: z wykorzystanie zmodyfikowanej metody oznaczania gazotwórczości w piecu rurowym oraz badania gazotwórczości cienkich, przypowierzchniowych warstw form zalewanych ciekłym metalem. Kinetyka wydzielania gazów prezentowana jest w funkcji czasu nagrzewania oraz w funkcji temperatur próbki nagrzewanej masy lub powłoki. Badania obejmują również monitorowanie tych samych zjawisk przy nagrzewania cienkich warstw formy. Stwierdzono, iż zarówno w przypadku mas ze spoiwami jak i w przypadku powłok występują dwa maksima szybkości wydzielania gazów: przy temperaturze około 200 i około/ponad 500 ºC. Powłoki ochronne są znaczącym źródłem gazów po zalaniu formy metalem, co rzadko jest uwzględniane w ogólnym bilansie gazów powstających w formie. Warstwy wierzchnie form i rdzeni pokryte powłokami wydzielają dużo więcej gazów niż warstwy bez tych powłok. Z tego powodu odlewy wytwarzane w formach/rdzeniach z powłokami są w większym stopniu narażone na powstawania wad pochodzenia gazowego.

The authors developed the original method and the way of performing investigations of the kinetics of gases emission from materials applied in the mould technology and subjected to intensive heating. Moulding sands and protective coatings applied for sand moulds and cores or for metal moulds poured gravitationally belong to these materials. Investigations are performed in two ways: with utilising the modified method of determining the gas evolution rate in the tubular furnace and testing the gas evolution rate from thin near surface layers poured with liquid metal. The gas emission kinetics is presented as the heating time function and as the temperature function of the heated sample of the moulding sand or coating. Investigations encompass also monitoring of these effects at heating thin layers of moulds. It was found that in case of moulding sands with binders as well as in case of coatings two maxima of gases emission rates occur: at a temperature of approximately 200 ºC and of approximately/above 500 ºC. Protective coatings are significant sources of gases after the mould is poured with metal, which is seldom taken into account in the general balance of gases formed in the mould. Surface layers of moulds and cores covered with coatings emit much more gases than layers without these coatings. Due to this, castings produced in moulds/cores with coatings are, in a higher degree, exposed to defects of gaseous origin.

The article discusses the ways of modification of hydrated sodium silicate as a silicate binder of moulding sands which were applied in the studies. It determines the change in the residual strength of the moulding sand with used silicate binders as well as the effectiveness of the changes in the residual strength as a function of the annealing temperature of the examined moulding sand samples. It was established that the most advantageous binder with regards to changes in the residual strength of the moulding sand is a silicate binder chemically modified with an organofunctional addition as well as a geopolymer binder, whereas the most beneficial effect of the changes in the residual strength of the moulding sand is ensured by a silicate binder chemically modified with an organofunctional addition.

W pracy podjęto próbę uzupełnienia informacji na temat wpływu zagęszczenia masy formierskiej ze spoiwami nieorganicznymi na podstawowe parametry wytrzymałościowe, tj.: wytrzymałość na rozciąganie i zginanie mas formierskich z uwodnionym krzemianem sodu po procesie szybkiego nagrzewania mikrofalowego. W badaniach zastosowano świeży piasek kwarcowy średni oraz trzy gatunki handlowego niemodyfikowanego uwodnionego krzemianu sodu o module molowym (SiO2/Na2O) w przedziale od 1,9 do 3,4. Masy sporządzone z 0,5% cz. mas. wody i 1,5% cz. mas. spoiwa zagęszczano wibracyjnie tak, aby osiągnąć różną gęstość pozorną (ϱ0) masy formierskiej. Badane parametry wytrzymałościowe po utwardzeniu i ostudzeniu próbek mas odnoszono do gęstości pozornej. Wyniki badań nad wpływem zróżnicowanego zagęszczenia odnoszono do dostępnych danych literaturowych. Występowanie zależności między gęstością pozorną a wytrzymałością na rozciąganie i zginanie utwardzonych mas potwierdzono za pomocą modeli liniowych dla korzystnego nagrzewania mikrofalowego, podobnie jak to ma miejsce w dotychczas opisanych przypadkach stosowania chemicznych metod sieciowania spoiw nieorganicznych. Ponadto na podstawie wykonanych badań stwierdzono występowanie podobnych przyrostów wytrzymałości na skutek zmian gęstości pozornej mas nagrzewanych mikrofalowo do tych, które zaobserwowano w masach utwardzanych chemicznie. Wyniki badań posłużyły do oceny jakości spoiw chemicznych stosowanych w odlewnictwie według kryteriów wytrzymałości przypadających na 1% wag. spoiwa w masie. W przypadku wszystkich badanych spoiw nieorganicznych stwierdzono korzystny stosunek wytrzymałości przeliczonej na udział 1% wag. spoiwa powyżej wartości 1,20 g/cm3 gęstości pozornej mas na osnowie piasku kwarcowego średniego.

The study attempts to complement the information on the effect of the density of moulding sands with inorganic binders on basic strength parameters, i.e. the tensile and bending strength of moulding sands with hydrated sodium silicate, after the process of fast microwave heating. The tests applied fresh medium quartz sand and three types of commercial non-modified hydrated sodium silicate with a molar module (SiO2/Na2O) ranging from 1.9 to 3.4. The masses made of 0.5 wt. % of water and 1.5 wt. % of binder underwent vibrational densification so as, to obtain different apparent densities (ϱ0) of the moulding sand. The examined strength parameters, after hardening and cooling of the mass samples, were compared to apparent density. The results of the studies of the effect of a diversified density were referred to in the literature data. The occurrence of relations between the apparent density and the tensile and bending strength of the hardened masses was confirmed by means of linear models for advantageous microwave heating, similarly to the previously discussed cases of the use of chemical methods of curing inorganic binders. Also, based on the performed tests, similar strength increases were established, as a result of the changes in the apparent density of the microwave heated masses to those which were observed in the chemically hardened masses. The tests results were used to evaluate the quality of the chemical binders applied in casting according to the strength criteria per 1 wt. % of binder in the mass. In the case of Poall the tested inorganic binders, an advantageous ratio of strength recalculated to 1 wt. % of binder above the value of 1.20 g/cm3 of the apparent density of the masses based on medium quartz sand, was established.
