Permeability of molds is affected by sand grains, binders and ramming. The author analyzed the permeability by there factors and worked out a way to construct the permeability from this analytical result.
That is : the permeability is computed by the following formula as :
F=K3×K2× Σ(fn×Wn)⁄ΣWn
where: F=permeability
K3= constant, refer to packing
K2=constant, refer to binder
fn=coefficient of permeability (=K1Dn2)
K1= constant, refer to grain size
Dn= mean diameter of sand grains
Wn=percent of sand grains retained
In this report, the author investigated how the permeability would change with the amount of binders. K2 is the ratio (ax/K1) of ax and K1 ; the former (ax) is a tangent of permeability and Dn2 when the amount of binder is changed, and the later (K1) is a tangent of permeability and Dn2 when a resin is used as a standard binder. Now, if the same sort of binder is used and only its additional amount is changed, ax is to be a constant as to a certain additional amount of said binder, Consequently, K2 can be determined by ax and K1.
Those rusults of permeability for green and synthetic sands which were computed by using K2 agreed very well with the measured results.
