Optimization of Casting Defects Analysis with Supply Chain in Cast Iron Foundry Process

C.Narayanaswamy, Department of Mechanical Engineering, KGiSL Institute of Technology, Coimbatore, India, K.Natarajan, Department of Mechanical Engineering, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, India. Some of the foundries are in need of meeting production targets and due to the urgency they ignore the rejections. The objective of this paper is to analyze the various defects, [1] from molding ...

Recycling of iron foundry sand and glass waste as raw material for production of whiteware.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the production feasibility of triaxial whiteware using sand from cast iron moulds as a raw material instead of silica, and recycled glass in place of feldspar. Formulations were prepared using sand, glass waste, and white-firing clay such that only 50% of the composition was virgin material (clay). The ceramic bodies were formed by pressing and fired at...

Geoenvironmental behavior of foundry sand amended mixtures for highway subbases.

The high cost of landfilling and the potential uses of waste foundry sands have prompted research into their beneficial reuse. Roadways have a high potential for large volume usage of the foundry sands. A laboratory testing program was conducted on soil-foundry sand mixtures amended with cement and lime to assess their applicability as highway subbase materials. The mixtures were compacted in t...

Optimization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Preparation for Biomedical Applications by Using Box-Behenken Design

Magnetic nanoparticles can bind to different drug delivery systems and can be used for drug targeting to a specific organ by using an external magnetic field as well as used in hyperthermia by heating in alternating magnetic fields. The characteristics of iron oxide nanoparticles are significantly affected by particle size, shape and zeta potential, among which the particle size plays the most ...
