Abstract

This article is presenting history of stone casting and analysis of basalt raw materials assessment from other countries for stone casting technology and various basalts compositions were considered. Analytical methods for calculating composition of charge require a long calculation time and plotting diagrams, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. As a research significance, we have proposed an experimental calculation method for calculating raw materials after charging. Analysis of the composition, structure of basalts and charging materials were used in the stone casting technology. According to the comparison method, the required amount of charging materials was calculated for the Suluu-Terek 1, Suluu-Terek 2 and Berestovetsk deposits. The calculated data was confirmed by experimental melts in the process of stone casting.

Highlights

  • We have proposed an experimental calculation method for calculating raw materials after charging

  • Basalt-stone casting is used as an alternative to ferrous and non-ferrous metals, metal alloys and other materials for protection against wear, corrosion of equipment, as well as in protection against radiation [3]

  • An aluminosilicate crystalline alloy was utilized in stone casting, which mainly consists of oxides: silicon oxide SiO2, aluminum oxide Al2O3, calcium oxide CaO, magnesium oxide MgO, iron oxides (FeO, Fe2O3), potassium oxide K2O and sodium oxide Na2O

Summary

Introduction

Based on petrology it is possible to carry out computational and experimental works, simulate the melting and crystallization processes of melts and study min-. Basalt-stone casting is used as an alternative to ferrous and non-ferrous metals, metal alloys and other materials for protection against wear, corrosion of equipment, as well as in protection against radiation [3]. Stone casting consists of a crystalline phase (5 ÷ 800 microns) and an amorphous glass phase. Experiments on melting of basalts aimed to obtain glass-crystalline materials and to determine possibilities of their application in industry were held in Paris at the beginning of 20th century. The results obtained were used in creation of stone foundries in France and in Germany in 1920s
