Abstract

Abstract In recent years, ingredients, also known as additives, which appreciably affect the quality of the casting surface, come to the fore. Additives - lower the temperature at which SiO2 (major component of silica sand) begins to soften and create a melt on the surface of the grains, increase the reactivity and decrease the temperature of a transition to tridimite and cristobalit. These passages support the increase of volume of subsurface sand stress and the tension for the formation of burrs and other casting defects on the surface of the core or the mold. Nowadays, as a great emphasis is put on the quality of the casts, it is therefore necessary to pay attention to these additives, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity in the production of castings and ensure a quality surface of castings.
