摘要:
A printable refractory material is provided having a liquid and powder component configured for use in a 3-D powder printer, where the material forms hydraulic bonds when the liquid and powder components are combined. Methods of printing the refractory material and forming castings therefrom are also provided.

Described herein, in the preferred embodiment, is a leonardite-based polyurethane resin binder that may be used, among other applications, as a binder in combination with foundry aggregate, e.g., sand, for molding or casting metal parts. The binders described herein comprise a humic substance, preferably leonardite, combined with a polymerizable polyol, an isocyanate, and a polymerization catalyst to make a polyurethane resin binder in situ in a foundry aggregate, such as sand. The lignite is mixed with the polymerizable polyol and dispersing agents as additives to improve the suspension quality and binder performance of the lignite-containing part of the binder components.
摘要:
Systems and methods for improved molding sand performance through use of recovered additives from the existing waste stream in a foundry. Sand, clay, and carbon-containing organic components are wet recovered from a green sand mold foundry dust recovery system. The sand and non-sand fractions may be further treated to reduce water content or adjust the levels of various components to generate a pre-mix additive for the generation of new green sand molds, that may display improved properties at ambient and high temperatures when compared to commonly employed traditional pre-mix. In some examples, pre-mixes having reduced sulfur content are obtained. In several embodiments, the non-sand fraction obtained from bag house dust or dust from mechanical reclamation includes increased levels of bentonite claim and carbon.
摘要:
A cost-effective starch/water-based binder composition and related method for forming silica sand cores and molds for foundries, wherein the sand grains are pre-coated with starch having additives making the coated sand effective for blowing said cores and molds. One or more additives are included with the starch; preferably sodium tripolyphosphate and -silicon or Silres BS16. The preferred starch is a tapioca starch. The binder of the invention is highly competitive due to its low cost and effectiveness for forming silica-sand cores and molds, being particularly effective for use in aluminum foundries for the automotive industry.
摘要:
Coal dust additivated with water soluble carbohydrates for use in the green sand composition for molding of castings refers to a process for obtaining coal additivated with carbohydrates to be used in the green molding sand composition, commonly used for making casting molds, having as a scope to inhibit the sand sintering on the castings and so to improve their finish.
摘要:
A method of removing a core from a molded product in which the core is formed of a particulate inert material, such as sand, bound together by a cured water soluble binder. The binder is cured by heat. The core and molded product are exposed to water, preferably heated water in a bath or steam, after the product has been molded to rapidly disintegrate the core and remove it from the molded product.
摘要:
A binder composition in aqueous solution, suitable for use in the production of foundry sand moulds and cores is obtained by mixing an alkali metal silicate, glycosylated polyhydric alcohols produced by acid catalyzed condensation of a carbohydrate having a reducing group and an alcohol having two or more hydroxyl groups, and optionally an oxyanion salt such as a borate.
摘要:
This invention is directed to binder compositions based upon aqueous solutions of alkali metal silicates. More particularly, this invention is directed to binder compositions consisting essentially of (a) aqueous alkali metal silicate solutions having a molar ratio of SiO.sub.2 :Me.sub.2 O of from about 2.0:1 to 3.4:1, with Me signifying an alkali metal, and a solids content of from about 35 to 50 percent by weight, based on the weight of the total alkali metal solution, and (b) from about 0.1 to 10 percent by weight, based upon the weight of the total binder composition, of at least one reductively aminated mono-, di-, or oligosaccharide, and the use of such binder compositions in the preparation of molds or cores for metal casting.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a bonded particulate article by admixing particulate material with a binder system, the binder system being formed by admixing a polyol selected from the group comprising a saccharide, a saccharide polymer, and a glyco protein with glyoxal, with a solvent, and with an alkali halide; forming the admixture in a heated mold; removing the bonded article from the mold; and allowing it to cool.
