Can waste foundry sand fully replace structural concrete sand? [PDF]
Foundry sand (FS) waste creates a serious solid waste management problem worldwide due to the high volumes produced, necessitating alternatives to landfilling. A possible route is its use in concrete; however, the current consensus is that FS can only be used for modest sand replacements, based mostly on evidence on concrete with clay-bound FS ...

Properties of furfuryl alcohol resins for conventional sand moulding and binder jetting applications [PDF]
This paper compares two commercial acid-cured furfuryl alcohol resins. The first material is used for conventional sand moulding (CSM), while the second material was manufactured for the binder jetting process (BJP) using a Voxeljet VX 1000 printer.

Relationship between casting modulus and grain size in cast A356 aluminium alloys [PDF]
Microstructure of Al-Si alloy castings depends most generally on melt preparation and on the cooling rate imposed by the thermal modulus of the component. In the case of Al-Si alloys, emphasis is put during melt preparation on refinement of pro-eutectic (
