Marukovich E.I., Stetsenko V.Y. About solutions of scientific problem of modifying of the microstructure of cast alloys
It is shown that the nonmetallic switching on which is formed when processing metal melts of cast iron and became modifiers, are not crystallization centers of graphite and primary microstructure of castings. As the main demodifiers serve the dissolved surface-active elements and gases. For a solution of the problem of modifying of a microstruc¬ture of cast alloys it is necessary to accept that crystallization centers of crystals of phases are the crystalline educations consisting of nanocrystals of phases, and the role of modifiers comes down to lowering in a metal melt of concentration of the dissolved surface-active elements and gases and (or) to formation of the moistened substrates on which process of gas generation and deleting gas bubbles will be most preferable.
Key words: Modifying, crystallization, nonmetallic switching on, surface-active elements, nanocrys¬tals, crystallization centers.

Belobrov Е.А., Karpenkova О.L., Belobrov L.Е., Belobrov К.Е., Belobrov Е.L. About the incompatibility of sand-clay and liquid-glass technologies at molding
In case of the combined usage ofthe sand-clay and liquid-glass mixtures in the same foundry, the first one is contaminated with the alkaline component (Na2O, NaOH) con¬tained in the fresh and wastedliquid-glass mixtures. As a result, the quality of the sand-clay mixture is sharply deteriorated. The present situation with liquid-glass and sand-clay mixtures at the foundries of Turboatom(Kharkov) and Uralkhimmash (Ekaterinburg) is de¬scribed. The permissible values of Na2O in asand-clay mixture are given. Typical cases and favorable combinations of sand-clay and liquid-glass technologies are defined depend¬ing on the content of Na2O in mixtures. The analysis of an influence of different variants of technologies on the performances of sand-clay mixtures is made. Recommendations on rational combination of two technologies in practiceare given.
Key words: Liquid-glass mixture, sand-clay mixture, wasted mixtures, contamination of sand-clay mixture with alkali, bentonite, clay, argillite, activation of bentonite, permissible content of alkali in mixtures, molasses, dextrin, wood meal, ether hardeners, powder hardeners.

Gruzman V.М. About a burned in sand in steel castings
The burned-in sand is the consequence of the surface erosion of a sand mould; it is located deep in the surface layer. Specific strength of the binder and the degree of its distribution over each grain of sandprovides successful erosion resistance. For the drastic prevention of formation of the burned-in sand, special anti-erosion coatings are required, the quality of which is estimated not by the refractoriness of the filler, but by the depth of their penetration into the surface layer of the mould.
Key words:: Erosion, penetrationdepth, linear speed, melt, specific strength, distribution degree ofsand grains, surface layer.

Iakovlev E.I., Berestevich A.I., Sobolev A.A., Zhabrev S.B. Production of cast large-sized blades of gas turbine plants with regulated equiaxial structures
The available technology of casting of large-sized blades for gas turbine units leads to the formation of coarse-grained and columnar structures with increased micro-porosity, which significantly reduces the service characteristics of blades. A radically new casting method involving the two-stage pouring-in technology was used in this work to produce large-sized cast blades of GTU from TsNK-7P, ChS88U-VI and IN738LC corrosion-resist¬ant superalloys with the regulated equiaxial structure and a lower level of micro-porosity. Cooling rates to form the regulated microstructure of blades were specified.
Key words: Cast turbine blades, equiaxed structure, porosity, grain size, casting conditions.

Marshirov V.V., Marshirova L.E., Marshirov I.V. The application of numerical simulation for predicting the structure in the alloy of the castings
A model that calculates the rates of cooling of liquid metal over the casting section at the liquidus temperature by the finite difference method is created and programmed. By the cooling rates, the empirical formula determines the grain size. The following pro¬cess parameters are taken into account: casting and molding materials, cast and mold dimensions, their initial temperatures, and the coefficient of contact thermal resistance.
Key words: Solidification of castings, numerical simulation, structure of alloy.
