Abstract

Drops of molten cast iron were placed on moulding sand substrates. The composition of the forming gaseous atmosphere was examined. It

was found that as a result of the cast iron contact with water vapour released from the sand, a significant amount of hydrogen was evolved.

In all the examined moulding sands, including sands without carbon, a large amount of CO was formed. The source of carbon monoxide

was carbon present in cast iron. In the case of bentonite moulding sand with seacoal and sand bonded with furan resin, in the composition

of the gases, the trace amounts of hydrocarbons, i.e. benzene, toluene, styrene and naphthalene (BTX), appeared. As the formed studies

indicate much higher content of BTX at lower temperature it was concluded that the hydrocarbons are unstable in contact with molten

iron
