The research paper presents the results of testing the strength and technological properties of molding sand with gypsum binder, the bonding process proceeded: naturally or conventionally. The tests included mass containing (parts by weight): 78 pbw. Grudzeń-Las quartz sand, 22 pbw. plaster gypsum "Dolina Nidy” and 9 pbw. water. Measurements of compressive strength, shear, tensile and bending as well as permeability and looseness were carried out on standard cylindrical samples kept in the air for 1-96 hours or dried at 110oC for 1-8 hours. The results of the analysis were analyzed in connection with the mass structure and construction binding bridges warp grains observed with a scanning microscope (SEM). The influence of drying intensity on the bonding process and related mass properties has been demonstrated, especially from the point of view of the possibility of selection and / or intensification of a specific curing method for use in the production of gypsum binger molds and cores.

The paper presents the preliminary results of research on determining the possibilities of using available on the market commercial gypsum kinds as a binder for foundry moulding and core sandmixes. Construction gypsum and plaster gypsum, finishing coat and jewelry casting gypsum were tested. Elemental composition of gypsum kinds were carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with EDS/EDX probe, their crystal structure and phase composition was determined by analyzing the results of X-ray diffraction measurements (XRD) and thermogravimetric studies (TG-DTA). Evaluation of the mechanical properties of selected materials was carried out at the tensile strength test of the dog-bone samples after initial hardening of gypsum mortar at 25°C for 5 h and drying at 110°C for 24 hours. The impact of the properties of the used commercial gypsum kinds on the possibility of their use as a valuable binders in the manufacture of the foundry sandmixes for moulds and cores was evaluated. Construction gypsum and finishing coat have the highest tensile strength. Plaster gypsum and finishing coat have the longest setting time. In all tested types of gypsum, the initial water loss during heating occurs at a temperature of about 200°C. The lowest valuable properties as a binder for sand moulding mixtures has jewelry casting gypsum mass.

W artykule podjęto tematykę wpływu podwyższonej temperatury na oliwinowe masy formierskie i rdzeniowe ze spoiwem nieorganicznym z grupy niemodyfikowanych gatunków uwodnionego krzemianu sodu. Sporządzone w warunkach laboratoryjnych masy na osnowie piasku oliwinowego formowano w kształtki prostopadłościenne do badania przemieszczenia wolnego końca rdzenia pomiarowego w warunkach otoczenia o podwyższonej temperaturze. W celu utwardzenia, wykonane z mas oliwinowych, kształtki poddawano szybkiemu nagrzewaniu mikrofalowemu w piecu z generatorem częstotliwości fali elektromagnetycznej f = 2,45 GHz i mocy wyjściowej 1000 W, w czasie 180 s. Badania przeprowadzono na kształtkach prostopadłościennych formowanych we wnęce o wymiarach: 25,9 × G × 120,4 mm, gdzie G = 6 lub 8, lub 10 mm. Pomiary przemieszczeń wolnego końca kształtek rdzeni pomiarowych przeprowadzono na zautomatyzowanym urządzeniu laboratoryjnym DMA Hot- Distortion. W trakcie pomiarów zastosowano trzy sposoby ogrzewania powierzchni prostopadłościennych kształtek spotykanych w technice pomiarowej odkształceń H-D (Hot Distortion Test): grzanie od dołu, grzanie od dołu i od góry (Modified Hot Distortion Test) oraz ogrzewanie tylko od góry. Przemieszczenie wolnego końca kształtek prostopadłościennych, w zależności od grubości oraz sposobów ogrzewania ich powierzchni, posłużyło do wstępnej oceny zachowania utwardzonych mikrofalowo mas oliwinowych z krzemianem sodu w warunkach otoczenia o podwyższonej temperaturze.

The article raises the issue of the influence of increased temperature on olivine moulding and core sands with an inorganic binder from the group of unmodified kinds of hydrated sodium silicates. Produced at laboratory conditions, moulding sands with an olivine sand matrix were formed into cuboidal specimens to test the deformation of the free measuring core end at conditions of increased temperature. In order to harden, the measuring cores made of olivine moulding sands fast microwave heating was applied to which used was a furnace with an electromagnetic wave frequency generator f = 2.45 GHz and output power of 1000 W, in the time period of 180 s. Tests were carried out on cuboidal specimens moulded in a cavity with the dimensions 25.9 × G × 120.4 mm, where G = 6 or 8 , or 10 mm. Measurements of deformation of the free specimen end of the measuring cores were conducted on an automated laboratory DMA Hot-Distortion apparatus. During the measurements three techniques were used to heat the surfaces of cuboidal specimens which are applied in the Hot Distortion Test: heating from the bottom, heating from the bottom and the top (Modified Hot Distortion Test), and heating only from the top. The deformation of the free end of cuboidal specimens, depending on the thickness and heating techniques of their surfaces, served for the initial assessment of the behaviour of microwave hardened olivine moulding sands with sodium silicate at conditions of increased temperature.

This paper presents initial findings from research into the possibility of using gypsum binders in quartz moulding sand that could be used in the production of casting moulds and cores. For the purposes of the research two commercial types of gypsum were used as binders: building gypsum and gypsum putty. Dry components of moulding sand i.e. medium quartz sand and gypsum were mixed in proportion of 89/11 parts by weight. In order to achieve bonding properties for the binders, 5 parts by weight of water was added to the mixture of dry components. After 24 hours of adding water and mixing all the components, the moulding sand, naturally hardened, was subjected to high temperature. The moulding sand thus produced, i.e. with cheap and environmentally-friendly gypsum binders, was eventually analysed after heating (at temperatures of 300oC, 650oC and 950oC) and cooling in order to determine changes in the following parameters: LOI – loss on ignition, chemical composition and pH. Moreover, investigated were bonding bridges, before and after the moulding sand was roasted. The research results revealed differences in the structure of bonding bridges and the occurrence of automatic adhesive destruction for both types of gypsum binders. For two types of moulding sands under the investigation of the LOI exceeded 2.59wt.% (with building gypsum) or 2.84wt.% (with putty gypsum) and pH increased to ca. 12 as a result of increasing roasting temperature from 300oC to 650oC. Next, roasting at 950oC decrease value of LOI in both types of moulding sands. Moulding sand with builoding gypsum roasted at 950oC revealed a return to the value of pH parameter measured prior to annealing.

This paper discusses the impact of high temperatures (up to 900°C) on molding and core sand with inorganic binders selected from among the group of unmodified grades of hydrated sodium silicate (water-glass). Molding sands with medium quartz sand were made under laboratory conditions and compacted at the different energy inputs necessary for obtaining various apparent densities (ϱ0). Due to the different composition and apparent density of molding mixtures hardened via microwaves at a frequency of 2.45 GHz, it was possible to assess their deformation (L) at a high temperature above the binder’s eutectic temperature. For this purpose, an apparatus for hot distortion tests was used whose construction and equipment allows us to measure the thermoplastic deformations in molding sand in many aspects; i.e., in its time of annealing. The article proposes new possibilities of interpreting the hot distortion phenomena in comparative studies of molding materials and mixtures. The application of this new measurement method revealed the differences between molding mixtures made with five inorganic binders with a molar module ranging from 2.0 to 3.4 and apparent density ranging from 1.34 to 1.57 g/cm3. It was established that distortions under the influence of high temperatures last the longest in molding sand with a binder with the highest molar module (3.4). Research also revealed that the density of molding sand is significant for increasing/decreasing the rate of thermoplastic deformations following the heating of samples only if the molding sand includes binders with a molar module of between 3.0 to 3.4. For molding sand with binders with molar modules from 2.0 to 2.5, it was established that this is excessively susceptible to thermoplastic deformation.

The paper presents results of initial research on the possibility of applying microwave radiation in an innovative process of making casting moulds from silica sand, where gypsum CaSO4∙2H2O was acting as a binding material. In the research were compared strengths and technological properties of moulding mixture subjected to: natural bonding process at ambient temperature or natural curing with additional microwave drying or heating with the use of microwaves immediately after samples were formed. Used in the research moulding sands, in which dry constituents i.e. sand matrix and gypsum were mixed in the ratio: 89/11. On the basis of the results of strength tests which were obtained by various curing methods, beneficial effect of using microwaves at 2.45 GHz for drying up was observed after 1, 2 and 5 hours since moisture sandmix was formed. Applying the microwaves for hardening just after forming the samples guarantees satisfactory results in the obtained mechanical parameters. In addition, it has been noted that, from a technological and economic point of view, drying the silica sand with gypsum binder in microwave field can be an alternative to traditional molding sand technologies.
