Influence of Temperature on the Mechanical Strength of No-Bake Sand Molds Bonded with Alkaline Phenolic Ester-Cured Resin

Abstract Sand molds bonded with alkaline phenolic resins and ester-type hardeners are widely used in no-bake foundry processes due to their suitable mechanical performance and relatively low gas evolution. However, the combined effects of curing temperature and resin–hardener rea...
