Definitions

  • sand casting In the foundry industry, one of the procedures used for making metal parts is "sand casting". In sand casting, disposable foundry shapes, e.g. molds, cores, sleeves, pouring cups, coverings, etc. are fabricated with a foundry mix that comprises a mixture of a refractory (typically sand) and an organic or inorganic binder.
  • a refractory typically sand
  • Foundry shapes are typically made by the so-called no-bake, cold-box processes, and/or heat cured processes.
  • a liquid curing catalyst is mixed with a refractory and binder to form a foundry mix before shaping the mixture in a pattern.
  • the foundry sand mix is shaped by compacting it in a pattern, and allowing it to cure until it is self-supporting.
  • a vaporous curing catalyst is passed through a shaped mixture (usually in a corebox) of the aggregate and binder to form a cured foundry shape.
  • the shape mixture is exposed to heat which activates the curing catalyst to form the cured foundry shape.
  • the binder typically has a low viscosity, must be gel-free, and remain stable under storage and use conditions. In order to obtain high productivity in the
  • binders are needed that cure efficiently, so the foundry shapes become self-supporting and handleable as soon as possible.
  • no-bake and heat cured processes there must be adequate worktime to allow for the fabrication of larger cores and molds.
  • cold-box processes the shaped foundry mix must cure nearly instantaneously upon contact with the vaporous curing catalyst.
  • the foundry shapes made with the foundry mixes using either no-bake, coid-box or heat cured binders have adequate mechanical strengths, particularly immediate tensile and transverse strengths, scratch hardness, and exhibit resistance to ambient humidity.
  • the flowability of a foundry mix made from a refractory and an organic binder can pose greater problems with respect to cold-box applications. This is because, in some cases, the components of the binder, particularly the components of phenolic urethane binders, may prematurely react after mixing with the refractory sand, while they are waiting to be used. If this premature reaction occurs, it will reduce the flowability of the foundry mix and the molds and cores made from the binder will have reduced mechanical strengths. This reduced flowability and decrease in strength with time indicates that the "benchlife" of the foundry mix is inadequate. If a binder results in a foundry mix without adequate benchlife, the binder is of limited commercial value.
  • Acyclic aliphatic solvents for instance kerosene and tetradecene have been used in small additions in polyol-polyisocya ⁇ ate binders, particularly phenolic urethane cold-box and no-bake binders, but their strong non-polar solvency properties have resulted in significantly limiting their amount in the binder formulation to less than five weight percent in the total binder, i.e. the combined weight of the Part I (polyol component) and the Part II (polyisocyanate component).
  • This disclosure relates to foundry binders comprising (a) a polyol

  • foundry mixes prepared with the foundry binders, the cold-box, no-bake and heat cured processes for making foundry shapes using the foundry mixes, and processes for making cast metal parts using the foundry shapes and the processes for metal casting.
  • cycloalkanes as solvents in the defined foundry binders, as a complete or partial replacement for aromatic hydrocarbon solvents may: (1) reduce the amount of photochemically active species that may have a deleterious effect on the ozone layer and which are liberated when foundry shapes are made with the binders and when the foundry shapes are used to make metal parts in the course of the metal casting process; (2) reduce the formation of tar-like materials in the venting system of semi-permanent molds, a technology commonly used to make automotive cylinder heads; (3) provide improvements in quality of the cast metal parts made from the foundry shapes; (4) improve mold and core quality by eliminating or reducing solvent build-up in attrition reclaimed sand and green sand molding systems; and (5) reduce dense smoke formation during pouring, cooling and shake-out.
