Due to this changes it is necessary to widen the requirements for the parameters used for their quality evaluation by widening the testing of the moulding and core sands with the measurement of their resistance to mechanical deformation (further called elasticity). Following article covers measurements of this parameter in chosen moulding and core sands with different types of binders. It focuses on the differences in elasticity, bending strength and type of bond destruction (adhesive/cohesive) between different mixtures, and its connection to the applied bonding agent. Moulding and cores sands on which the most focus is placed on are primarily the self-hardening moulding sands with organic and inorganic binders, belonging to the group of universal applications (used as both moulding and core sands) and mixtures used in cold-box technology.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Tendency of Moulding Sands to Generate Core Cracks}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/103391/PDF/AFE%201_2018_29.pdf}, keywords={Innovative foundry technologies and materials, Moulding sand, Binder, Elasticity, Cracking}, }
