Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:
A method for knocking out silicate-bonded granular mould material from a mould after casting. This method is characterized in that the mould after casting is contacted with an alkaline aqueous solution to loosen the bond between the grains by dissolving the silicate binder, and release the mould material. The cast mould can be immersed in a bath of the solution, or poured over or sprinkled or sprayed with the alkaline aqueous solution. The method avoids the awkward mechanical knock-out of the hardened mould material and the drawbacks connected therewith.

Description
~7~13~1 In the production of moulds and cores for casting metallic materials such as cast iron, cast steel, li~ht metals, bronzes, e-tc., there is often used a mould material containing sand and a silicate-binder, usually water glass. The silicate can be hardened, among other things, with the help of an organic ester, for example triacetine, which is mixed into the mould material, or with carbon dioxide which is led throu~h produced cores or moulds. The hardening takes place under precipitation of silicagel which bonds the sand grains and is usually performed at room temperature. When using esterhardening sand and ester are normally mixed first, wherea~ter the silicate is supplied to the mixture of sand and ester. Immediately after the sili-cate has been mixed in, the mould is prepared. The pattern can usually be drawn after 15 to 30 minutes whereas casting is possible only after a couple of hours.
A generally recognized problem with silicate-bonded mould materials are their poor break-down properties, which necessi-tates an awkward mechanical knock-out of the hardened mould material, for example with a vibrator and also a sledge, to expose the cast body. The knock-out operation is a hard manual operation in a dusty and noisy environment. The mould residues consisting of silicate-bonded lumps of sand in varying sizes and reinfoFcing iron bars are carried away to be dumped on a waste disposal ~ip, alternatively to be sabjected to regeneration in a special plant.
. ~. - . .
107~
It i~ known that the break-down proper-ties of silicate-bonded mould materials can be improved by adding to the mould material different organic substances such as sugar, dextrine, starch, wood meal and pulverized coal. The improvement of the break-down properties tha-t can be achieved by adding said substances, however, far from solves the knock-out problems.
Also when usin~ the additives it is necessary -to e~ploy mechanical methods.
According to the present invention it has been found to be possible, when knocking out silicate-bonded mould material, to avoid awkward mechanical methods and thus the drawbacks connected therewith. The knock-out o the mould material and -the exposure of a casting with high quality can be radically ~acilitated according to the invention. In addition the method according to the invention has the advantage of making possible, with simple methods, regeneration of the used mould material so that this can be re-used for manuacture of new moulds and cores.
The present invention therefore provides a method of knocking out silicate-bonded granular mould material from a mould after casting, i.e. from a mould with a casting, possibly containing a core, characterized in that the mould after casting is contacted with an alkaline aqueous solution to loosen the bond between the grains by dissolving the silicate binder, and release the mould material.
The cast mould can be subjected, among other things, - to the effect of an alkaline aqueous solution by being immersed in a bath of the solution or by being poured over or sprinkled or sprayed with the alkaline aqueous solution. Pouring, -sprinkling and spraying in many cases involve advantages over immersion because with such methods it is possible to achieve a successive removal o mould material broken down from the surface of the mould so that the underlying mould material is more effectively accessible to the alkaline aqueous solution.

Particularly in the case of knock-out of cores the spray method may be valuable since removal of sand is normally more trouble-some with cores. A suitable pressure on the aqueous solution in the case of spraying may be from 1 to 50 atmospheres. If it is desirable at the same time to expose a metallic, pure surface on the castings, it may be necessary to use a higher pressure, for example from 50 to 300 atmospheres. For economical reasons the aqueous solution, after it has been used for pouring, sprinkling or spraying of the mould after casting and after it has been separated from the releasecl sand, should be recirculated to the knock-out equipment to be used for pouring, sprinkliny or spraying oE new cast moulds.

The mould oE silicate-bonded mould material may be manufactured in conventional manner. Thus, the mould material may be manufactured from quartz sand, chromite sand, olivine sand or more other sand used within the casting technique.
~s binder Eor the sa~d there is prefer~ed water glass, but also other water-soluble silicates are possible to use, T~e amount of silicate that is added when preparing the mould material suit-ably is from 0.5 to 5 % of the weight of the sand. The sili-cate is normally added in the form of an aqueous solution~ In the amount of silicate mentioned above the water isnot included.
The hardening may be performed in any conventional manner, hardening with carbon dioxide and with organic ester being of particular importance, but hardening with other substances mixed into the mould material than organic ester, such as acids, cement, dicalcium silicaté and silicon, may be used as well.
Esters which are often used as hardeners are mixtures of diacetin (glyceryl diacetate) and triacetin ~lyceryl tria-cetate) or mixtures of diacetin and ethyl diglycol diacetate in various weight ratios depending on the desired hardening times. The esters mentioned may also be used separately. Also other estersmay be usedJ among other things acetates of glycol. ;-The amount of ester added to the sand when preparing the mould material suitably is from 0.05 to 2% of the weight of the sand.
When manufacturing a mould for ester hardening the mixture of the components may be carried out, for example, in a continuous screw mixer, sand and ester being normally mixed before the silicate is added, as mentioned earlier. Among other things, the mould can be manufactured by allowing the mould material, after mixing in the silicate, to run down over the pattern which ,."
is suitably vibrated or rammed. When the mould has been allowed to harden 15-30 minutes the pattern can be drawn. ~he top and bottom parts of the mould are then put togethe~ after a few ~, ... , . - . ~ - , '~ ' :~7~ 3~
additional hours o~ hardening. Casting is usually performed after six hours at the earliest. casting may be performed, for example, from a bottom-discharging ladle. Any cores used can be manufactured in a corresponding manner, if desired. When the castin~ has cooled, the cast mould is treated with the alkaline aqueous solution in accordance wi~h the present inven-tion.
The alkaline aqueous solution can be produced by dissolv-ing sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and/or another alkali 10 metal hydroxide and/or ammonia in water. Other substances than -those mentioned giving aqueous solutions with sufficient alkali-. ~.
nity may, of course, be used as well. The pH value of the aqueous solution suitably amounts to at least 12, and preferably to at least 13. When using alkali metal hydroxide to achieve the alkalinity the amount of alkali metal hydroxide should be at least 0.4 %, suitably 0.4 to 20 % and preferably 0.4 to 10 % -of the total weight of hydroxide and water. When using ammonia there is preferred an amount of 10 to 30 % of the total weight -of ammonia and water. ~
::
An increase of the temperature of the aqueous solution improves the break down markedly. In particular if there are .
problems in breaking down themould material located adjacent to the castings and;therefore exposed to the most heat, it may be essential to raise the temperature of the aqueous solution. If such problems exist the use of a high content of alkali metal hydroxide in the aqueous solution is also recommended~ The ;
temperature of the aqueous solution is suitably at least 40C
and suitably at the most 100C, preferably 50 to 80C. The treatment is normally carried out at atmospheric pressure for a time o~ from one minute to one hour.
When the castings have been exposed from the mould material they are made clean by water, for example by washing or rinsing.
- ~07~3~3~
The mould material broken down in the form of sand contaminated with alkali metal hydroxide can be used after -cleaning - consisting in repeated rinsing with water and subsequent drying - for manufacturing a new mould material, i.e. the mould material can be re-used. When using ester hardeners, ester is first mixed into the cleaned mould material, as described earlier~ and then water glass or anotller silicate binder. The mould material is thereaEter ready for manufacture of new moulds.
Embodiments of the invention are described in the follow-ing examples.
Exa~ple 1 A mould material is manufactured of quartz sand with a medium grain size of 0.25 mm. The sand is first mixed with 0.4 per cent by weight (calculated on the sand) of an ester hardener consisting of a mixture of equal parts of diacetin and triacetin and thereafter with 4 per cen~ by weight (calcul~
- ated on the sand) of water glass containing 40 per cent by weight of silicate and 60 per cent by weight of water. After manufacture of a block mould and casting of cast steel in con-ventional manner, the cast mould is allowed to cool until the casting has a temperature of between 200C and 500C. It is thereafter immersed into a bath with a temperature ~f 55C to --60C consisting of a three per cent sodium hydroxide solution.
After about five minutes the mould material has been broken down and the castings been exposed. - -.
A cast mould is manufactured in the manner described in Example 1. It is then poured over with a three per cent sodium hydroxide solution with a temperature of 55 to 60C. After a few minutes the mould material has been broken down and the castings been exposed~

Exam~le 3 A flask mould is manufactured of the same mould material as the one described in example 1. The mould after casting is immersed in an alkaline bath of the same kind as the one described in Example 1. Also in this case the mould material is broken down and the casting is exposed rapldly. Becau~e the cast mould is located in a flask, however, the breakdown and the exposure will require a somewhat longer time than Eor a block mould.
Example 4 A cast flask mould is manufactured in the manner described in Example 3. The mould is sprayed with an alkaline aqueous solution of the same kind as the one stated in Example 1 and with a pressure of about 5 atmospheres. Also in this case the mould material is broken down and the casting exposed rapidly.

Mould material which has been broken down according to any of the Examples 1 to 4 is rilled down into a container which is filled with water and which i5 continuously supplied with water by means of a sprinkling devlce at the bottom of the box.
The last-mentioned supply of water creates turbulence in the water and a continuous through flow of water. The water lea~es the container through a s~illway. The sand is washed during its passage through the water. The fine part o the mould material leaves the container through the spillway. The treatment is ` carried out so that the pH value in the water is maintained below 10. ~hen the washing is finished the sand is removed from container and dried in a sand drying plant.
