TY - JOUR N2 - The paper presents results of measuring heat diffusivity and thermal conductivity coefficients of used green foundry sand in temperature range ambient – 600 o C. During the experiments a technical purity Cu plate was cast into the green-sand moulds. Basing on measurements of the mould temperature field during the solidification of the casting, the temperature relationships of the measured properties were evaluated. It was confirmed that the obtained relationships are complex and that water vaporization strongly influences thermal conductivity of the moulding sand in the first period of the mould heating by the poured and solidified casting L1 - http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/88997/PDF/05_paper.pdf L2 - http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/88997 PY - 2016 IS - No 1 DO - 10.1515/afe-2015-0098 KW - Castings KW - Solidification KW - Used green sand KW - Thermo-physical properties A1 - Krajewski, P.K.
