Effect of Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles on Water Glass Structure
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
An attempt has been made to determine the effect of an addition of colloidal suspensions of the nanoparticles of magnesium oxide on the structure of water glass, which is a binder for moulding and core sands. Nanoparticles of magnesium oxide MgO in propanol and ethanol were introduced in the same mass content (5wt.%) and structural changes were determined by measurement of the FT-IR absorption spectra.

Corrosion behaviour of the AlSi6Cu4 alloy and cast AlSi6Cu4-graphite particles composite
The corrosion behaviour of the AlSi6Cu4 alloy as a composite matrix and of composites with 8% vol. of graphite particles was investigated. The corrosion experiments were performed over a range of elevated temperatures an...
The dimensional and shape accuracy of vacuum castings prepared in plaster moulds
The results of laboratory test on the dimensional and shape accuracy of bronze plaster castings CuSn10, CuSn5Zn5Pb5and AlSi11 silumin are presented in this paper. The test castings were made in form of rods of length 100...
Effect of modifying process on mechanical properties of EN AC-43300 silumin cast into sand moulds
Significance of alloy modification in course of casting process is the most explicitly visible on example of Al-Si alloys. Broad application of these alloys in foundry industry has become possible after invention of a me...
Influence of a matrix on properties of mottled cast iron applied for mill rolls
Mill rolls are ones of the most expensive tools applied in plastic working processes and have to satisfy several criteria, which allow them to be used. Cast iron mill rolls, due to their fracture toughness and tribologic...
Quality stabilisation of synthetic sand containing bentonite in process lines
Stabilisation of sand quality requires the monitoring and control of sand moisture contents and its other parameters at each stage of sand processing, i.e. during the preparation of return sand mix and rebonding processe...
