Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, thermophysical properties of a commonly used silica sand were investigated and their relation to its granulometric and chemical composition was studied. Thermal expansion and differential scanning calorimetry tests were performed on individual fractions of the silica sand together with X-ray fluorescence measurements to determine their constituents. It was found that the various size fractions of silica sand exhibit different levels of thermal expansion based on the differences in SiO2 content. The expansion behaviour of two additional silica samples and a recycled olivine sand was also investigated in relation to its grain size to justify the findings.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Cast Metals Research is devoted to the dissemination of peer reviewed information on the science and engineering of cast metals, solidification and casting processes. Assured production of high integrity castings requires an integrated approach that optimises casting, mould and gating design; mould materials and binders; alloy composition and microstructure; metal melting, modification and handling; dimensional control; and finishing and post-treatment of the casting. The Journal reports advances in both the fundamental science and materials and production engineering contributing to the successful manufacture of fit for purpose castings.
