Determination of recycle potential in waste green foundry sand through spatiotemporal analysis of sand mold

Green sand is used for making molds to obtain the desired casting in foundries. The process is associated with solidification of molten metal that results in the evolution of the latent heat of fusion. The clay used for binding purpose is decomposed to various forms depending on the local temperatur...

Determination of recycle potential in waste green foundry sand through spatiotemporal analysis of sand mold
description Green sand is used for making molds to obtain the desired casting in foundries. The process is associated with solidification of molten metal that results in the evolution of the latent heat of fusion. The clay used for binding purpose is decomposed to various forms depending on the local temperature. It is thus necessary to determine temperature distribution in the molds such that much of the sand that is intact can be saved and recycled as it is. This paper studies the heat transport in the mold to obtain the spatio-temporal temperature profile in the green sand mold. Furthermore, the impact of the heat of molten metal on sand properties (loosely bound clay/oolitic deposits) was also quantified as it is known that clay decomposes at a temperature >773 K. The clay and oolitic content were found to be varying across the used mold.
