Application of Microwaves for Binder Content Assessment in Moulding Sands
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents results of preliminary examinations on possibility of determining binder content in traditional moulding sands with the microwave method. The presented measurements were carried-out using a special stand, the so-called slot line. Binder content in the sandmix was determined by measurements of absorption damping Ad and insertion losses IL of electromagnetic wave. One of main advantages of the suggested new method of binder content measurement is short measuring time.
