The aim of the research described in this study was to determine what effect the addition of reclaim obtained in the process of dry mechanical reclamation could have on the properties of furan sands. The sand supplied by one of the domestic foundries was after the initial reclamation subjected to a two-step proper reclamation process. The following tests were carried out on the obtained reclaim: pH, S and N content, loss on ignition and comprehensive sieve analysis. The obtained reclaim was next used as a component of moulding sands with furfuryl resin, wherein it formed 50% and 80% of the base moulding material, respectively. The strength properties of the ready sand mixtures (bending strength Rg u and tensile strength Rm u ) were determined after the hardening time of 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 24 hours.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Effect of Mechanical Reclamation Cycle on Strength Parameters of Loose Self-Hardening Sands Based on Furfuryl Resin}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/109154/PDF/AMM-2018-4-35-Kaminska.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2018.125113}, keywords={Loose self-hardening sands, Furfuryl resin, Mechanical reclamation}, }
