Results showed that there is a great possibility of using available biodegradable materials as foundry moulding sand binders. Using biodegradable materials as partial content of new binders, or additives to moulding sands may not only decrease the toxicity and increase reclamation ability of tested moulding sands, but also accelerate the biodegradation rate of used binders, and the new biodegradable additive(PCL) did not decrease the strength and thermal properties. In addition, using polycaprolactone(PCL) as a biodegradable material may improve the flexibility of moulding sands with polymeric binder and reduce toxicity.展开更多

This paper studies the influence of the residual content of rare earth and magnesium on the nodule counts, the time of first stage graphitization and the rate of ferritization of it. Moreover, the role of sulfides of rare earth and magnesium in the process of graphitization has been analyzed. The results show that the residual content of rare earth and magnesium has a notable influence on the graphitic nodule counts and the time of the first stage graphitization of spheroidal graphite, but has unremarkable influence on the time of the second stage graphitization. There are a large number of spherical sulfides of rare earth and magnesium in as-cast structure, which will act as the nucleus of graphite in the process of first stage graphitization.展开更多
