Abstract

Foundry sand is the main element of sand mixtures from which molds or sand cores are made. Due to the continuous development of coremaking technologies, the selection of the right type of base sand becomes more and more important. The major features of foundry sand are determined by the following factors: chemical and mineralogical composition, sand grain size, grain size distribution, sand grain shape, and surface quality. The main goal of our research was to develop a qualification method that can be used to predict the characteristics of sand cores made from different sand types. Samples made from different types of foundry sand were used during the research whose properties were examined with a new qualification system, and then its connection with the gas permeability of sand cores was analyzed. Based on the research results, a strong correlation could be established between the suggested quality indicators: CQi (Core Quality Index), CG (Coefficient of Granulometry), and permeability.

Abstract

The heat-cured core-making process has been applied for over 60 years to produce molds and cores for different types of castings. The following technologies can be classified into the terminology of “heat-cured coremaking process”: croning-, hot-box -, and warm-box process. The latest technology provides good workability of core mixture, good strength properties, dimensional stability, and good knockout performance of the sand cores. Despite all its advantages, the warm-box technology is less widespread in foundries due to the cost of the high quality thermosetting resin and the maintenance cost of the core box. In this study, the influence of the acid hardener content on the hardening characteristics (bending strength), collapsibility, and the benchlife of the warm-box sand cores were investigated. From the results, it can be said, that within the investigated composition range, increasing the acid hardener content will improve the bending strength of the sand cores. The increased acid hardener content results in higher thermal stability at the beginning of the thermal exposure, and smaller residual bending strength after 15 minutes of thermal loading. The acid hardener level has little effect on the benchlife of the warm-box sand cores, although the sand core mixture is very sensitive to the combined effect of the sand temperature and dwelling time.
