In this work, an assessment and comparison of the quality of selected bentonites and bentonite mixtures was made. The samples consisted of available foundry materials used for bonding green sands. Determining the homogeneity degree and specific surface area of the grains allowed us to compare the examined materials and determine their influence on other parameters. On the basis of a thermal analysis of the bentonites or bentonite mixtures, the changes occurring in the sample during its heating were determined. Determining the potential for ion exchange and montmorillonite content enabled us to assess the binding properties of the materials. The preparation of six green sands with different bentonites or bentonite mixtures gave us the opportunity to assess the changes in apparent density, permeability, compressive strength and friability as a function of humidity, and the impact of different materials on the mentioned parameters. Their charts were analyzed, and the molding sand with the addition of bentonite or a bentonite mixture was selected for which these parameters are favorable. On this basis, the best-presented binding material was assessed and selected.

The article presents an example of analysis of the influence of selected parameters deriving from data acquisition in foundries on the occurrence of Gas porosity defects (detected by Visual testing) in castings of ductile cast iron. The possibilities as well as related effectiveness of prediction of this kind of defects were assessed. The need to rationally limit the number of possible parameters affecting this kind of porosity was indicated. Authors also benefited from expert group's expertise in evaluating possible causes associated with the creation of the aforementioned defect. A ranking of these parameters was created and their impact on the occurrence of the defect was determined. The classic statistical tools were used. The possibility of unexpected links between parameters in case of uncritical use of these typical statistical tools was indicated. It was emphasized also that the acquisition realized in production conditions must be subject to a specific procedure ordering chronology and frequency of data measurements as well improving the casting quality control. Failure to meet these conditions will significantly affect the difficulties in implementing and correcting analysis results, from which INput/OUTput data is expected to be the basis for modelling for quality control.

An innovative method for determining the structural zones in the large static steel ingots has been described. It is based on the mathematical interpretation of some functions obtained due to simulation of temperature field and thermal gradient field for solidifying massive ingot. The method is associated with the extrema of an analyzed function and with its points of inflection. Particularly, the CET transformation is predicted as a time-consuming transition from the columnar- into equiaxed structure. The equations dealing with heat transfer balance for the continuous casting are presented and used for the simulation of temperature field in the solidifying virtual static brass ingot. The developed method for the prediction of structural zones formation is applied to determine these zones in the solidifying brass static ingot. Some differences / similarities between structure formation during solidification of the steel static ingot and virtual brass static ingot are studied. The developed method allows to predict the following structural zones: fine columnar grains zone, (FC), columnar grains zone, (C), equiaxed grains zone, (E). The FCCT-transformation and CET-transformation are forecast as sharp transitions of the analyzed structures. Similarities between steel static ingot morphology and that predicted for the virtual brass static ingot are described.

The Structural Peclet Number has been estimated experimentally by analyzing the morphology of the continuously cast brass ingots. It allowed to adapt a proper development of the Ivantsov’s series in order to formulate the Growth Law for the columnar structure formation in the brass ingots solidified in stationary condition. Simultaneously, the Thermal Peclet Number together with the Biot, Stefan, and Fourier Numbers is used in the model describing the heat transfer connected with the so-called contact layer (air gap between an ingot and crystallizer). It lead to define the shape and position of the s/l interface in the brass ingot subjected to the vertical continuous displacement within the crystallizer (in gravity). Particularly, a comparison of the shape of the simulated s/l interface at the axis of the continuously cast brass ingot with the real shape revealed at the ingot axis is delivered. Structural zones in the continuously cast brass ingot are revealed: FC – fine columnar grains, C – columnar grains, E – equiaxed grains, SC – single crystal situated axially.

The work presents the results of the investigations of the effect of the nitrogen (N2) refining time „traf” and the gas output on the course of the crystallization process, the microstructure and the gassing degree of silumin 226 used for pressure casting. The refinement of the examined silumin was performed with the use of a device with a rotating head. The crystallization process was examined by way of thermal analysis and derivative analysis TDA. The performed examinations showed that the prolongation of the N2 refining time causes a significant rise of the temperature of the crystallization end of the silumin, „tL”, as well as a decrease of its gassing degree, „Z”. An increase of the nitrogen output initially causes an increase of the temperature „tL” and a drop of the gassing degree „Z”, which reach their maximal values with the output of 20 dm3/min. Further increase of the output causes a decrease of the value „tL” and an increase of „Z”. The examined technological factors of the refining process did not cause any significant changes in the microstructure of silumin 226.

Preparation of moulding sand is a key process, determining the final quality of casting products. Special requirements are imposed at stabilising and optimising the parameters of the moulding sand so that it should maintain its properties required for moulding. These requirements can be satisfied as long as specialised mixing systems are used to prepare and control the sand mixing processes. The key elements of the system include sand mixers supported by dedicated measuring equipment operating in accordance with the approved control methods. Methods employed to determine the key properties of sand mix include the methods applied in on-line mixing control systems. The author’s research to date has led to the development of a method whereby the sand quality indicator is defined by a dynamic power demand signal from the mixer system. This study provides the selected measurement data, showing power consumption by the driving units in a prototype turbine mixer, used in laboratory conditions. The experimental programme utilises a state-of-the-art microprocessor system for measuring the parameters having relevance to power consumption by the mixer drive. Measurement signals of power demand by a paddle stirrer and a rotor are analysed. Testing was done for variable moisture content in moulding sands containing different kind of bentonite and for variable mixer pan loads. The methodology is supported by measurements of sand properties by conventional methods. The complete set of data and interrelations holding between them is utilised to describe the investigated processes in terms of dynamic systems, in accordance with the rules of automation. Attention is given to practical applications of the power measurement method in the analysis of mixing dynamics, in control of water-feeding system and in evaluation of energy demand for the process. The proposed methodology enables the comprehensive evaluation and selection of constructional parameters of devices of sand preparation systems.

Content available remote Constrained/unconstrained solidification within the massive cast steel/iron ingots
EN
Some properties of the ingot and especially of the steel forging ingots depend on the ratio of a columnar structure area to an equiaxed structure area created during solidification. The CE transition is fundamental phenomenon that can be applied to characterize massive cast steel ingots produced by the casting house. The mentioned ratio is created spontaneously due to the rate of heat transfer towards the ceramic mould and then to the environment. The ceramic mould operates as an isolator. So that the thickness of the mould together with a growing solid fraction control the heat transfer and finally the ratio of the columnar structure area to the equiaxed structure area. At first the increase of heat accumulation within the ceramic mould is observed. Next the stationary state for heat transfer is created and finally a gentle abatement of the mould temperature associated with the heat output to the environment is expected. The steep thermal gradients correspond to the increase of heat accumulation in the ceramic mould. The steep thermal gradients are required to promote the columnar structure formation. The full heat accumulation in the mould corresponds well with the CE transformation while the appearance of the moderate thermal gradients is referred to the gentle temperature abatement within the ceramic mould. The equiaxed structure is expected within this period of heat transfer behavior. The steep thermal gradients involve the activity of viscosity gradient in the liquid. As the result a sedimentary cones are formed at the bottom of the ingot. The CE transformation is associated with competition between columnar and equaixed structure formation. At the end of competition a fully equiaxed structure is formed. The viscosity gradient is replaced by the thermophoresis which is the driving force for the deposition of some equiaxed grain layers onto the surface of C+E zone. The convection together with the gravity allow the layers to be uniform along the whole height of the ingot. Some equiaxed grain layers are also deposited at the bottom of ingot onto the surface of sedimentary cones due to activity of the gravity. Additionally, some macro-segregation effects are observed in the ingot [...]

Content available remote Some aspects of monitoring of foundry moulding sands preparation process
EN
The study outlines the basic features of a newly-designed computer-supported system for monitoring and recording the instantaneous power consumption, used to control the operating parameters of foundry mixers as well as moulding sand preparing process course. Basic idea of monitoring of power demand treated as the factor of quality evaluation of moulding sand preparation process have been described. The main coefficients and factors characterizing electric power demand by mixer drive are recalled. Comparison of values of the indicators of power consumption by various types of mixers has been done. The study has also summarized the preliminary test data of power consumption during moulding sand preparation process in a paddle mixer drive and roller mixer (Simpson type). Process parameters were varied during the tests: moisture content in moulding sand, load of the mixers pan and mixing time. Electric power demand is expressed by effective values, assuming the balanced load. As the mixing levels change, the technological parameters will change, too, and this fact might be utilized in monitoring of the mixing process. The power factor of the mixer drive cos would vary considerably during the mixer’s operation under loading. The selected results of tests performed to find the relationship between the technological and operational parameters and power consumption by a mixer drive have been presented. Two aspects of the monitoring system are considered to be of major importance: potential optimization of the mixing process in the function of energy consumption and control of the mixing process and its impacts on the properties and quality of thus prepared moulding sand. Potential following applications of the module for fast recording of instantaneous currents and voltages in a single or triple phase power supply system in other foundry machines and devices have been pointed out. Further research areas are indicated, to extend the system and the range of its using.

Content available remote Conventional flow curves of liquid cast iron put on spheroidization
EN
The purpose of the investigation was to confirm the hypothesis that the conventional flow curves of liquid cast iron put on sferoidization determined from the rod fluidity test are comparable to flow curves of liquids in environmental temperature. Moreover has been identified, that conventional flow curves for this liquid cast iron are similar to generalized non- Newtonian liquids curves. For rods with the diameters 3-8 mm there are three various curves: 1 - the flow curve of liquid cast iron put on spheroidization overheated about 80 K resemble a shape adequately to a curve of densified liquid with shearing. This phenomenon can be caused by high overcooled and creation of crystallization nuclei; 2 - metal alloys overheated about 180 K resemble a shape adequately to Newtonian liquid; 3 - metal alloys overheated about 210 K resemble a shape of curve adequately to dispersed liquid with shearing. This phenomenon probably depends on influence of gas which creates on boundary of metal-sand mould.

Content available remote Comparison of selected tools for generation of knowledge for foundry production
EN
Two types of data mining tools, suitable for semi-automatic generation of knowledge in a form of logic rules, are presented in the paper: decision (classification) trees and rough sets theory algorithms. A comparative evaluation of rules obtained by these two methods, used for decision concerning application of feeders for grey iron castings, is performed. Data sets obtained as readouts form a semi-empirical nomograph of Holzmüller and Wlodawer were used for the testing. It was found that both methods lead to similar rules, which are also in agreement with the foundry practice. However, the decision trees were unable to provide some important and reliable rules, which were generated by the rough sets theory algorithm and they can also generate rules which are not supported by the training data.
