TY - JOUR N2 - The paper is a presentation of a study on issues concerning degradation of protective paint coat having an adverse impact on aesthetic qualities of thin-walled cast-iron castings fabricated in furan resin sand. Microscopic examination and microanalyses of chemistry indicated that under the coat of paint covering the surface of a thin-walled casting, layers of oxides could be found presence of which can be most probably attributed to careless cleaning of the casting surface before the paint application process, as well as corrosion pits evidencing existence of damp residues under the paint layers contributing to creation of corrosion micro-cells L1 - http://journals.pan.pl/Content/101909/PDF/afe-2016-0065.pdf L2 - http://journals.pan.pl/Content/101909 PY - 2016 IS - No 3 DO - 10.1515/afe-2016-0065 KW - Thin-wall casting KW - Flake-graphite grey cast iron KW - Corrosion KW - Paint coat A1 - Trytek, A.
