A process for separating bentonite and carbon carrier particles from an air-dust mixture generated from a mechanical used-sand reclamation unit and, more particularly, a process as aforesaid wherein the bentonite and carbon carrier particles are recycled to a foundry sand preparation unit.

Process for reclaiming bentonite and carbon particles from used foundry

A method for regenerating foundry old sand which method combines impact and shearing stress of the sand grains which occurs with simultaneous dust removal. The dust removed by suction contains non-burned bentonite and carbon parts which can be re-used in the same way as the regenerated material of core sand. Environmental pollution and quantities for dumping are drastically reduced.

Arrangement and method for introducing waste material into a molten slag

The clay-bonded used casting sand is treated in a drum rotated about a horizontal axis by continuously feeding a sand additive to the drum in an amount sufficient to maintain the quantity of sand in the drum at about 26-40 percent by volume of the drum to compensate for the amount of shell material drawn off by pneumatic dust removal devices so as to maintain an optimal relationship between the volume of the drum in the quantity of sand in the drum over the entire period of treatment. The amount of sand fed to the drum may be controlled by the amount of current consumed by a motor used for rotating the drum.

A method of flash butt welding high-carbon materials, in particular nodular cast iron wherein the arcing craters produced by intermitting contact of the contact faces have a maximum roughness depth R.sub.T such that this roughness depth lies within the narrowest thickness of the plasticized zone. As a result, when the upsetting pressure is applied, the entire molten material areas on the contact faces are pressed out of the contact faces into the welding bead thereby prohibiting the creation of hardening structures, such as, for example, ledeburite in the welding zone. The method is especially suitable for flash butt welding workpieces having wall thicknesses of over 12 mm.

Method of flash butt welding high-carbon material, in particular nodular

A magnesium-treated, decarburizingly-annealed cast iron material includes 4% or less carbon by weight, 2% or less silicon by weight, at least 0.010% magnesium by weight, and at least 0.001% sulphur by weight, the remainder being iron. The cast iron material is subjected to a first annealing phase in which graphitic carbon portions are formed. Thereafter, the cast iron material undergoes a second annealing phase during which certain of the graphitic carbon portions are burned out. The resultant structure includes cavities in place of certain of the graphitic carbon portions in a substantially ferritic matrix. The resultant cast iron material exhibits good welding and cutting properties with little susceptibility to hard cracking.
