  • the invention relates to the production of lost cores or moldings for casting molds for the production of cast components (casting production).
  • Lost cores are needed in the foundry industry for the realization of voids inside castings and can have an extremely complex structure, e.g. B. cores for car cylinder heads.
  • the lost cores are produced from a granular and dry base material, a sand, often quartz sand, but also chromite, zirconium, olivine, feldspar, mullite or other sands and a chemically curing binder system. These components are mixed, optionally introduced with the addition of further additives and by pressurization (compressed air) in the mold (core or molding box).
  • the subsequent solidification of the still loose molding material mixture can be carried out by various means, for example by passing a hardening gas, e.g. Carbon dioxide or thermal solidification by a heated, d. H. metallic, archetype tool.
  • Water-glass-based binders are known, which mostly consist of multicomponent systems of the waterglass component and of a usually powdery additive component. Blended with mold bases and formed into cores or core moldings, such moldings can be solidified by physical consolidation (dehydration, dehydration, drying) or chemical hardening (chemical hardening).

  • Table 3 documents the residual compressive strength values for Examples 1 and 2 after simulated casting at 400 ° C and at 800 ° C.
  • Tables 4 to 9 document the experimental results achieved using binder neu1 with a binder content of 1.5 Ma% and 2.0 Ma% at different fumigation temperatures and times.
  • Tables 4-9 firing pressure 2.5 bar, firing time 2.0 s, flexural bending test, times in the table indicate the test time after test specimen removal from the core box; for residual compressive strength 20 minutes annealing of the samples at test temperature, testing 1 hour after end annealing, all measured values mean values from 3 individual measurements.
  • lost cores are at least as good
  • Table 1 shows the flexural strengths of the lost cores. It will be appreciated that the lost cores made with the one-component binder of the present invention have significantly higher flexural strengths both immediately and after 1 hour and 24 hours than lost cores made with the conventional binders. This trend can also be seen in the compressive strengths.
  • test values in Tables 4 to 9 document that with binder proportions of 1.5 and 2.0% by mass at gassing temperatures of 150-170 ° C and gassing times of 1 to 3 minutes both very high values for flexural strength and also very low values be achieved for the residual compressive strength. This behavior proven on test specimens comes very close to the practical requirement of very high primary and very low secondary strengths (ideally 0).
