摘要
It is known to use sands in combination with a thermosetting resin binder to make foundry molds. Olivine sands, usually comprising a mixture of magnesium and iron silicates, are normally preferred to silica sands in applications where moderate temperature stability is required for the mold. However, olivine sands have the disadvantage that molds made therefrom must either have unacceptably high binder contents resulting in defects in manufactured metal shapes or have low tensile strength leading to disruption of the structural integrity of the mold shell in some applications. The invention overcomes this disadvantage, and enables production of molds having high tensile strength comparable to those made using expensive zircon sands without unacceptably high binder contents, by using an olivine sand which has been treated an aqueous alkali metal silicate solution to provide a covering of alkali metal silicate on the sand particle surfaces.
