The article is devoted to the analysis of finds foundry implements in Bronze Age burials Europe. In addition, it revises criteria for identifying metalworkers. all probability, complexes where professional sphere buried represented only by tools associated with metal work and those a full set suitable should be attributed As result comparison aspects dynamics this phenomena, common specific cha...

abstract porous materials are commonly found in nature and as industrial materials such as wood, carbon, foams, ceramics and bricks. in order to use them effectively, their mechanical properties must be understood in relation to their micro-structures. foam made from non-flammable metal will remain non-flammable and the foam is generally recyclable back to its base material. this research work ...

Aluminium base alloy (Al-Cu-Si) was reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles, in various percentage compositions from 0-20 wt%. Silicon carbide particle size of 20µm was selected. The molten slurry of SiC reinforced base aluminium metal was casted through green and dry sand casting methods and solidification process was carried out under ambient conditions. A selected population...

Aluminium alloys are widely used in automobile industries and aerospace applications due to their great mechanical properties, low density, low coefficient of thermal expansion, better corrosion resistance and wear as compared with conventional metals and alloys. The low production cost and better mechanical properties of composites makes them very useful for various applications in many areas ...

Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS) was used to identify the major organic products produced by pyrolysis of three foundry sand resins: (i) Novolac and (ii) phenolic urethane (PU) (both phenol-formaldehyde based resins) and (iii) furan (furfuryl alcohol based resin). These resins are used in the metal casting industry as a "sand binder" for making cores (used to produce cavities...

Soft ferromagnetic Fe-based bulk metallic glass key-shaped specimens with a maximum and minimum width of 25.4 and 5 mm, respectively, were successfully produced using a high pressure die casting (HPDC) method, The influence of die material, alloy temperature and flow rate on the microstructure, thermal stability and soft ferromagnetic properties has been studied. The results suggest that a stee...
