Partial Report on Synthetically Bonded Steel Molding Sands

Abstract

Synthetically bonded steel molding sands were studied to find the effect of changes in sand grains size, size frequency distribution and grain shape on the physical properties of the mixtures. Several clays were tested and their green compressive strengths compared. The clays varied considerably in strength and each clay had a green strength-water content curve which was characteristics of the clay. A widely used cereal binder of the corn flavored types was studied in mixes with bentonite and in clay free mixes.
