Abstract
The processes that take place at the liquid metal-sand mold interface during the casting and crystallization of metal were studied in this paper. The mold was made using the CO2 – method, with the addition of active components, such as: MgO, TiO2, AlK(SO4)2 and Na2SO4. At the liquid steel pouring temperature, these active components undergo decomposition in the mold, caused by heat release during pouring, crystallization and cooling of castings. Silicates, which have an important influence on casting surface quality, are formed as a result of the interaction between the mould material and liquid steel.
