Summary

The subject is focused on theoretical and practical aspects of moulding mixtures manufacture and control. The attention is devoted to mutual interaction of sand – binder system and to individual technologies of moulds and cores manufacture. General methods of testing and control of moulding mixtures is also presented here.
