- Table 1 shows the relative hot strengths of various specimens. All specimens were made of the same material (except that specimens 1, 3 and 4 did not contain a hot strength additive) with the same
- test specimens were prepared / treated.
- the test specimens were prepared by means of binder jettings using quartz sand as particulate material and soda waterglass as binder (printed as aqueous solution) and had a dimension of 172 mm ⁇ 22.4 mm ⁇ 8 mm ("HDT test strip", HDT: Hot Deformation Test.)
- HDT test strip Hot Deformation Test.
- the specimens were decompressed and then immediately subjected to a method of increasing the hot strength according to the present invention (excluding specimens 1 and 2.) Separate curing was not performed.
- an additive for improving the hot strength was added, and the specimen was not treated by the method of the present invention.
- No additive for improving the hot strength was added to the third and fourth test pieces, and the test pieces were treated by the method of the present invention.
- the fifth and sixth test pieces were added with an additive for improving the heat set, and the test pieces were treated by the method of the present invention.
- the fourth test piece represents a reproduction of the third test piece
- the sixth represents a reproduction of the fifth test piece.
- the determination of the hot strength was carried out by means of the tester "HOT-FLEX, Hot Deformation Tester” from the company “BENETLAB". To determine the hot strength of the specimen was clamped in the tester, a Wegemesser with test weight (mass: 26.02 g) placed on the specimen, the test specimens by means of a gas flame
- Hot strengths of the other specimens were determined by dividing the respective elapsed time of an associated specimen by that of the specimen 1. The results are shown in Table 1.
- Hot strength of the molding 100 can be increased by about 40%. That is, by the method according to the invention, the hot strength of molded parts 100 may be increased, to which an additive for increasing the hot strength is added. From the comparison of the third and fourth test specimens with the fifth and sixth specimens also shows that in the present comparative example at
