This process leads to work on the use of new or previously unused materials for binders. Organic and inorganic foundry binders are replaced by renewable materials of plant origin to meet the requirements of both the foundry customers and the environmental and health and safety regulations. The aim of this work was to identify the applicability of renewable and organic malted barley binder in moulding sand technology. The influence of the malt binder content on dry tensile strength, dry bending strength, dry permeability, dry wear resistance and flowability were evaluated. The results show that the malted barley binder can be self-contained material binding the high-silica sand grains. Selected mechanical properties of moulding sands were found to increase with an increase in binder content. It was observed that malted barley binder creates smooth bonding bridges between high-silica sand grains.}, type={Ahead of print}, title={Research on Assessment of the Applicability of Malted Barley Binder in Moulding Sand Technology}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/118994/PDF/AFE%201_2021_11.pdf}, doi={10.24425/afe.2021.136081}, keywords={Innovative foundry technologies and materials, Mechanical properties, Moulding and core sand, Organic binder, Malted barley}, }
