Optimising the composition of natural moulding sands including thermal aspects
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper discusses the problem of the choice of the moulding sand mixture composition in terms of the sand behaviour in contact with molten metal. Studies of high-temperature phenomena make assessment of the sand composition applicability under real operating conditions possible, thus leading to the elimination of sand-originating casting defects. The research was conducted on selected moulding materials included in the composition of traditional moulding sand mixtures without the addition of carbon. The effect of moulding sand composition and moisture content on the linear dilatation and stress-induced allotropic changes of quartz was examined. The analysis of these phenomena was based on 3D charts and maps generated from data collected during the tests.
