They are grainyfibrous materials, containing components which initiate and upkeep exothermic reaction. Thermo-physical parameters characterizing such sleeves are necessary also to fill in reliable databases for computer simulation of processes in the casting-mould layout. Studies with use of a liquid alloy, especially regarding different sleeves bring valuable results, but are also relatively expensive and require longer test preparation time. A simplified method of study in laboratory conditions was proposed, in a furnace heated to a temperature above ignition temperature of sleeve material (initiation of exothermic reaction). This method allows to determine the basic parameters of each new sleeve supplied to foundries and assures relatively quick evaluation of sleeve quality, by comparison with previous sleeve supplies or with sleeves brought by new providers.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Innovative Laboratory Procedure to Estimate Thermophysical Parameters of Iso-exo Sleeves}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/101969/PDF/afe-2017-0012.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2017-0012}, keywords={Risering, Thermo-physical parameters, Simulation}, }
