It is thought that the gas pressure caused by pouring the mold cavity is determined by the following three factors, i. e.,
(1) The volume of mold cavity, which is equivalent to the pattern contour,
(2) the rate of gas evolution from the mold, and
(3) the rate of gas permeability in the mold.
The factor (1) is influenced by the pouring velocity of the melts. The rate of gas evolution (
dv/
dt), when a small amount of melt is poured into a considerably large mold, increases rapidly at the initial period of pouring and it decreases gradually hereafter.
But, the gas volume generated from a closed mold, can be expressed as an integrated value of the rate of gas evolution.
The rate of gas permeability which pass through the mold, in general, is expressed by a permeability value.
As this value is expressed in the unit of velocity, the gas volume evolved is given by the integration of the permeability value.
Accordingly, the gas volume in mold cavity can by represented by the difference of the two values mentioned above.
The variation of gas pressure, and the decreasing the weight of sand specimen is measured this time by giving rapid heating on molding sands, and the results close to the expectation could be taken in the case of measuring the decrease of sand weight.
