Basic parameters as bulk density, pH value of water suspension, refractoriness, grain shape of the testing sands were evaluated. Also mechanical properties of furan no-bake moulding mixtures with testing sand were determined. Finally, the influence of non-silica sand on casting quality was evaluated via semi-scale under normal casting production for sand characterization Optimization of production process and production costs were described.}, type={Article}, title={Application of Non-Silica Sands for High Quality Castings}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/117783/PDF/AMM-2021-1-03-Beno.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2021.134754}, keywords={non-silica sands, chromite sand, furan no-bake}, }
