Effect of the way of modification of hydrated sodium silicate on the effectiveness of the changes in the residual strength of a moulding sand

The article discusses the ways of modification of hydrated sodium silicate as a silicate binder of moulding sands which were applied in the studies. It determines the change in the residual strength of the moulding sand with used silicate binders as well as the effectiveness of the changes in the residual strength as a function of the annealing temperature of the examined moulding sand samples. It was established that the most advantageous binder with regards to changes in the residual strength of the moulding sand is a silicate binder chemically modified with an organofunctional addition as well as a geopolymer binder, whereas the most beneficial effect of the changes in the residual strength of the moulding sand is ensured by a silicate binder chemically modified with an organofunctional addition.
