The reasons for poor knockout of liquid glass mixtures have been investigated. A complex action softening additive has been recommended for a better knocking-out ability. This solution provides a softening effect at the points of maximum formation of the liquid glass matrix strength in the processes of polymorphic transformation of the material under the influence of elevated temperatures as the result of filling the mold cavity by the melt. It has been shown that the use of additives of complex action leads to the decrease in the specific work of the knockout by four – seven times depending on the composition of the mixture and the design features of the casting. Experimental-industrial tests of the proposed method for softening the liquid glass mixtures have been made and the "Front Buffer Stop" casting has been made (for the rolling stock of locomotives and railway wagons). The tests confirmed the effectiveness and expediency of implementation of new liquid glass mixtures with softening additives in conditions of foundry enterprises.}, type={Article}, title={Application of Liquid Glass Mixtures with Improved Knocking-Out Ability in Castings Production for Railway Transport}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/110933/PDF/AFE%203_2019_05.pdf}, doi={10.24425/afe.2019.127134}, keywords={Molds and cores, Liquid glass mixtures, Knocking-out ability, Softening additives, Steel casting}, }
