摘要:
An apparatus and method for producing one or more hollow sand cores suitable for casting moulds using a bipartite core box defining a mould cavity into which sand and a catalyst or a curing agent are introduced. The method includes the steps of establishing a pressure gradient which decreases from the interior to the exterior of a non-heated core box of porous material; introducing sand and a catalyst or a curing agent into the mould cavity defined by the non-heated core box; and directing the introduced sand and catalyst or curing agent against the interior surface of the non-heated core box, which step of directing, at least in part, is obtained by the pressure gradient established between the interior and exterior of the non-heated core box. The apparatus provides structure for accomplishing the above described method.
摘要:
A method for relining metallurgical ladles, soaking pits, and furnaces at temperatures of at least about 250*F by applying a mixture of refractory materials against a prior-existing lining without prior cooling thereof, the relining thickness being at least one-fourth inch. The dry refractory mixture consists essentially of, by weight, from about 1/2 % to about 4% of sodium silicate, from about 1/2 % to about 4% of an organic binder, from about 20% to 80% of clay, and from about 12% to about 72% quartzite. To facilitate its application, the dry refractory mixture may be mixed with about 4% to 6% water as it is applied.
