A basic study for the rapid green sand control

This paper presents experimental data for the computerization of green sand control. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. To obtain the proper compactability at the mixer, the addtion of moisture is far more efficient than the control of mixing time or addtion of clay. 2. The log R(% clay/% moisture) vs. log compactability curve moves upward as the amount of clay increases and moves downward as the amount of seacoal, dead bentonite or coked seacoal increases. 3. The ratio of dead to initial clay amount or coked to initial seacoal amount is changed according to sand to metal ratio, mainly, and according to pouring temperature, partly, at a shake out time of 12hrs.
