Computer aided process of dimensional distortion determination of bounded plaster sandmix
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2009, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
A computer program allowing calculation of dimensional changes of mould made of silica-gypsum composition in process of its heat treatment and preparation for molten metal casting is presented in this paper. The composition of the mixture and casting temperature to obtain cast of predetermined dimensions can be calculated using presented software. The base for program elaboration were the results of dilatometric test of bounded plaster sandmix composed of half hydrate α-CaSO4·0,5H2O of various silica SiO2 ratio (0, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 98%). Approximation was carried out in the range of temperatures 100÷800°C.

Influence of modification on the structure and morphology of fractures of silumin AlSi6Cu4
The results of modification of silumin AlSi6Cu4 with additions of AlTi5B1 and AlSr10 have been showed. It was found that the modification has favorable influence into structure and fracture morphology of tested alloy.
Influence of Addition of Briquettes with Dust Content into the Charge of Electric Induction Furnace on Cast Iron Quality
Foundry dust from blasting and grinding of castings contain a high amount of iron, ergo it is possible its recycling in foundry process. Dust was compacted by briquetting, two kinds of briquettes were prepared (A contain...
