The analysis of the quality of the casting and its price was conducted in terms of the metal charge of high chromium cast iron. As is well known, in order to obtain the correct structure of the casting, and thus good strength properties, it is necessary to use clean batch components free of undesirable impurities. Unfortunately, the quality of the metal charge is proportional to its price. Thus, the use of expensive batch components offers the possibility of obtaining healthy and meeting the strength properties of castings. However, there is a flaw in this approach. And it is from the point of view of economics that production plants are forced to look for savings. Expensive feedstock materials are replaced by cheaper counterparts giving the possibility of obtaining castings with similar properties often, however, at the cost of increased inferior quality. It seems that a way out of this situation is to introduce a modification procedure into the alloyed iron manufacturing technology. The selected modifiers should affect the fragmentation of the structure of the primary austenite. At this point, it can be hypothesized that this will result in the elimination of hot cracking in high chromium cast iron. The industrial research carried out at the \"Swidnica\" Foundry Ltd. made it possible to show by means of the Althoff-Radtke method that by using the modification of the liquid metal of the so-called \"inferior and cheaper\" composition of the metal charge, a reduction in the occurrence of hot cracks and shrinkage cavities can be achieved. In addition, iron-niobium modification not only reduced the formation of casting defects in castings, but also slightly improved the impact strength of high-chromium cast iron. The work was written as part of an implementation PhD.","PeriodicalId":8301,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Foundry Engineering","volume":"15 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138980219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The turbulence can be easily eliminated by counter gravity casting. In gravity casting, tapered downsprue, tapered runner is needed such that the mould cavity is filled counter-gravity from the bottom which is the only best way to eliminate turbulence during filling. Tilt casting method also exists which has the potential to quiescently transfer the liquid into the mould cavity. In this work, gravity and tilt casting methods were used to evaluate the tensile properties of Nb grain refined 206 alloy. Three different Nb contents were investigated: 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1 wt% ratios and it was found that 0.05 wt% revealed the highest tensile properties. On the other hand, when the intrusion of surface folded oxides was eliminated during filling, it was found that mechanical properties were increased significantly, and particularly, the toughness was increased by two folds when tilt casting was applied compared to gravity casting.","PeriodicalId":8301,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Foundry Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138978829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The final structural strength is determined by such factors as the thickness of the individual layers applied to the wax model resulting from the viscosity of the liquid mass, the specific strength of the layers formed, and the heat treatment of the moulds. The development of technology and materials is moving in the direction of increasing the specific strength of self-supporting ceramic moulds. The consequence of this is that the final strength of these moulds is too high, making it difficult to knock castings out of the moulds. Removing mould remnants from holes, closed spaces of the casting, corners, sharp edges, variable cross sections and etc. is cumbersome. In order to remove mould remnants from the casting, a method is used to dissolve them in heated solutions of suitable chemical composition and reaction. The paper presents the results of research on a new solution, the essence of which is the production of layers in a ceramic mould, in the middle zone of the mould, characterized by a significantly reduced final strength, achieved after firing. These layers are produced using a different liquid ceramic mass than the base one, based on an organic binder. As a result, thanks to the embedded layer, very good knock-out of castings is achieved and separation of residual ceramic mass. Special layers can be incorporated over the entire surface or only in those places where the bonding of the casting surface and ceramic mass occurs.","PeriodicalId":8301,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Foundry Engineering","volume":"64 1‐2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135341984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As practical experiences show, knock-out properties of inorganic binders were significantly increased, although they cannot overcome organic based binder systems. This paper contains information about hot curing processes based on alkali silicate and geopolymer binder systems for core making. Main differences between hot cured geopolymers and hot cured alkali silicate based inorganic binders are discussed. Theory of geopolymer binder states, that binder bridge destruction is mainly of adhesive character. The main aim of this research paper was to examine binder bridge destruction of alkali silicate and geopolymer binder systems. In order to fulfil this objective, sample parts were submitted to defined thermal load, broken and by using SEM analysis, binder bridge destruction mechanism was observed. Results showed that geopolymer binder system examined within this investigation does not have mainly adhesive destruction of binder bridges, however the ratio of adhesive-cohesive to cohesive destruction is higher than by use of alkali silicate based binder systems, therefore better knock-out properties can be expected.","PeriodicalId":8301,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Foundry Engineering","volume":"4 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135544383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
