Abstract |
Report on trials using granular corundum instead of silicogenic quartz for moulding sand. Technical aspects, medical problems, tests and test results. For the first time, it is possible to produce castings weighing up to 13t in moulds made of pure corundum, with satisfactory results. 3 factors affecting the use of corundum are studied: increased wear in the conveying equipment, high cost of the moulding material, problems involved in regenerating carborundum. |
