چکیده
D. Novak, M. Stachowicz, K. Granat. Wroclaw University of Technology, Wroclaw, Poland The paper pr esents r esults of pr eliminary examinations of possibilit y t o measur e binder c ontent in traditional moulding sands using a new method employing electromagnetic waves. The presented examinations were carriedout with use of an innovative test station, the so-called microwave slot line. The measurements of binder content in moulding sand were based on the results of power balance investigation of microwaves aff ecting the specimen. An advantage of the suggested, new method of binder content measurement is short measuring time.

Pyrolysis of foundry sand resins: a determination of organic products by mass spectrometry.
Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS) was used to identify the major organic products produced by pyrolysis of three foundry sand resins: (i) Novolac and (ii) phenolic urethane (PU) (both phenol-formaldehyde based resins) and (iii) furan (furfuryl alcohol based resin). These resins are used in the metal casting industry as a "sand binder" for making cores (used to produce cavities...
متن کاملAc 2007-2728: Development of Apparatus and Protocol for Testing of Sand at High Temperatures in the Foundry
In order to increase productivity and improve quality, the metal casting industry has realized the need for near-net shape casting. For example, in the automotive industry, power train components are designed for usage in close tolerance. One goal of the foundry engineer is to produce cores and molds of consistent dimensional accuracy, and hence a casting satisfying the tight tolerances of the ...
متن کاملDetermination of Asphalt Binder VECD Parameters Using an Accelerated Testing Procedure
Fatigue characteristics of asphalt binder have an important role in asphalt mix resistance against cracking. Viscoelastic Continuum Damage (VECD) analysis of asphalt binders has been successfully used in highway research works in order to predict fatigue behavior of hot mix asphalt (HMA). In this method an intrinsic property of the material, called damage function is obtained which is independe...

Like Phenol (C 6 H 5 OH) and Urea {(NH 2 ) 2 C=O)}, Furfuryl alcohol (C 4 H 3 OCH 2 OH), a product of agricultural origin is capable of polymerization with Formaldehyde (H 2 C = 0) under suitable PH conditions. However, usable polymers, at least as no bake for Foundry applications are obtained only when the condensations are carried out in association with Urea, Phenol or both. The series of re...
متن کاملUse of standardized procedures to evaluate metal leaching from waste foundry sands.
As part of the casting process, foundries create sand molds and cores to hold the molten metal to specific dimensional tolerances. Although most of the waste foundry sands (WFSs) from this process are land filled, there is great interest in diverting them for use in agricultural and geotechnical applications. One potential limitation to their beneficial use is concern that the WFSs will leach h...
