The design of an experiment to investigate the fluidity of aluminum silicon alloys in carbon dioxide cured molds
The last decade has seen many new developments in the foundry industry, among them the CO₂ process for curing molds and cores. The CO₂ process consists essentially of mixing dry, clay-free, silica sand with an organic liquid sodium silicate binder, then ramming this mix into molds or core boxes and …
