Both kinds of sands must have the same chemical reaction. The most often applied system is the moulding sand on the water-glass or geopolymer bases – as the backing sand and the moulding sand from the group of self-hardening sands with a resol resin – as the facing sand. Investigations were performed for the system: moulding sand with inorganic GEOPOL binder or moulding sand with water glass (as a backing sand) and moulding sand, no-bake type, with a resol resin originated from various producers: Rezolit AM, Estrofen, Avenol NB 700 (as a facing sand). The LUZ apparatus, produced by Multiserw Morek, was adapted for investigations. A special partition with cuts was mounted in the attachment for making test specimens for measuring the tensile strength. This partition allowed a simultaneous compaction of two kinds of moulding sands. After 24 hours of hardening the highest values were obtained for the system: Geopol binder - Avenol resin.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Method of the Moulding Sands Binding Power Assessment in Two-Layer Moulds Systems / Metoda oceny wielkości siły wiązania mas w układzie form dwuwarstwowych}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/87361/PDF/07_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/afe-2013-0033}, keywords={Innovative materials and foundry technologies, mechanical properties, Two-layer moulds, Moulding sands, Alkaline organicbinder}, }
