Studies on the Renewability of Polymeric Binders for Foundry
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper the results of studies of polymeric binders on the example of the new BioCo2 binder, including the problem of its renewability, are presented. The results of structural studies (FT-IR) for the BioCo2 binder before and after crosslinking, and bending strength tests Rgu fresh and renewed cured molding sands with BioCo2 binder are discussed. The cross-linking binder and curring of moulding sand was carried out by physical agents (microwave radiation, temperature). On the basis of obtained results was shown that it is possible to restore the initial properties of the adhesive of BioCo2 binder. The initial properties of moulding sand can be achieved, after the cross-linking binders and after curing in the moulding sands with bioCo2 binder , by supplementing the moulding sand composition by the appropriate amount of water.

Influence of moulding sands grain size on the effectiveness of quality control systems
One of the modern methods of the production optimisation are artificial neural networks. Neural networks owe their popularity to the fact that they constitute convenient tools, which can be applied in an extremely broad...
Semi-solid processing method for cast iron
A device for the fabrication of ingots from cast iron of globular non-dendritic structure of the primary phase was designed and made, using the principle of overflow on the Slope Cooling Plate, known as the SCP method....
Classification of Structure Defects of Metal Matrix Castings with Saturated Reinforcement
Definition of a composite [1] describes an ideal composite material with perfect structure. In real composite materials, structure is usually imperfect – composites contain various types of defects [2, 3–5], especially a...
