Solidification experiment of Mg-4Y-3Nd-1.2 Al (wt%) alloy cast in a step-like sand-mold
casting shows that a slow cooling rather than a fast cooling leads to grain refinement during …

The phenolic urethane cold-box (PUCB) process was first introduced to the foundry industry
in the late 1960s. Since then, it has become one of the most popular methods to make …

Mg–3.0 Y–2.5 Nd–1.0 Gd–xZn–0.5 Zr (x= 0, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0)(wt%) alloys were produced by
metallic and sand mold casting to study the microstructure and mechanical properties of the …

The most important advantage of foundry purpose moulding sand is that it can be reclaimed
and reused through the casting manufacturing process. Supplying the foundry with a new …

The main aim of this work was to numerically investigate and optimize feeding and
geometrical parameters to produce inlet valves of Ti6Al4V alloy that are free from defects …

The paper presents results of measuring thermal conductivity and heat capacity of bentonite
foundry sand in temperature range ambient–900° C. During the experiments a technical …
