AP26102801 «Study of the Mineralogical and Geochemical Characteristics of Coals and Ashes from Coal Deposits in Central Kazakhstan», s.s. Amangeldikyzy Altynaу
The relevance
Coal is not just a primary energy source; it is a mineral resource of the global market, playing a key role in the economies of many countries, including Kazakhstan. Despite the declining share of coal in the global energy mix, the demand for this fuel type on the world market is expected to remain stable for a long time. Comprehensive utilization of coal and associated minerals enhances the profitability of coal mining and helps address various environmental issues.
Clean coal technologies will help navigate the transition period for coal-based energy balances. Studying the distribution of strategic and critical elements will enable the extraction of rare earth elements (REEs) necessary for the development of renewable energy sources. There is a possibility of meeting the demand for REEs through elements extracted from coal and ash. The authors of this project propose an alternative, unconventional source of strategic elements derived from coal and its by-products. Developing renewable energy potential to a level that allows it to replace coal requires time, investment, and commitment from both the government and the private sector. This process can be facilitated and accelerated with the support of clean coal technologies.
In recent years, rare earth elements in coal resources have gained significant attention following pioneering studies by Finkelman, Seredin, Eskenazi, Arbuzov, Dai, Hower, and others. This was mainly due to the shortage and high demand for new technologies and devices, a market that continues to grow, leading to an urgent global demand for alternative sources of REEs, especially in coal deposits. The urgency of this demand emphasizes the relevance of research into extracting REEs from secondary sources, such as coal and its by-products. For example, some studies indicate that coal and coal by-products, like fly ash, are potential sources of REEs and suitable for extraction.
Previous studies by the authors of this project have shown that coal deposits are unconventional sources of critical elements, comparable to traditional economically viable ores. Therefore, the goal of this study is a comprehensive mineralogical and geochemical examination of the distribution of strategic elements in coal and ash from the largest deposits in Central Kazakhstan—the Karaganda Coal Basin (seam k7) and the Shubarkol deposit. This region, with its significant coal reserves, has been the focus of research for many years by geologists, ecologists, and materials science experts. Ash, formed during coal combustion, is seen not only as a by-product but also as a resource with a wide range of applications.
The materials obtained from this research can be used for further studies on coal ash from the region and for its practical use as a source of rare metals. This study aims to address several major tasks: extraction of rare earths and key elements that have economic value, strategic significance, and the potential to contribute to national economic development; expansion of the country’s mineral resource base; implementation of advanced technologies in ecology and safety; reduction of the risk of toxic element leakage from coal and waste dumps, control of disposal costs, and mitigation of environmental impacts.
Thus, studying the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of coal ash opens new horizons for the rational use of this resource, which is significant for both the economy and the environment of the country.
Achieved results in the 2nd half of 2025:
As a result of the conducted research, additional information was obtained on the geochemical characteristics of coals from the K7 formation. Coals from this formation are characterized by high Ag content, which exceeds Clark values. The distribution of precious metals within the formation is mainly concentrated in clay interlayers and contact zones between coal and clay. Microinclusions of native gold (Au) (fig.1) ranging in size from 0.5 to 10 microns were found in a pyrite matrix mainly in samples taken from clay layers, as well as microinclusions of electrum? (AuAg)(fig.2).
Figure 1. Inclusions of native Au
Figure 2. Electrum? (AuAg) microinclusions
Thus, the revealed distribution of precious metals demonstrates clear lithological selectivity and reflects the syngenetic and epigenetic nature of their accumulation. The data obtained can be used to assess the geochemical potential of coal-bearing strata and predict local zones of precious metal concentration, including for coal chemical and ore zoning purposes. In general, contact zones and clay layers in coal-bearing formations represent potential targets for searching for dispersed forms of precious metals, including to assess their technological and economic significance in coal processing.

AP26198307 ” Investigation and substantiation of parameters of extraction coal mine methane made accumulations for usful using without disturbing ecological balance” Scientific Supervisor: Dr. T.K. Isabek
Relevance
With the increasing depth of mining operations and productivity of coal mines in the Karaganda Basin, the intensity of methane emissions into underground workings has significantly risen. This leads to a higher risk of accidents, explosions, and fires, as well as to atmospheric pollution within mines and the surrounding environment. Being one of the most potent greenhouse gases, mine methane negatively affects the climate and necessitates a systematic approach to its capture and utilization.
The issue of methane extraction and utilization is especially relevant for Kazakhstan, which has joined the Global Methane Pledge initiative aimed at reducing methane emissions. In the Karaganda coal basin, where eight high-gas-bearing mines of JSC “Qarmet” operate, annual methane losses reach tens of millions of cubic meters. A significant portion of this gas accumulates in the goaf areas and disturbed rock zones, forming technogenic collectors that can serve both as sources of increased hazard and as promising raw materials for industrial use.
Modern degasification technologies can only partially solve this problem by reducing the methane content in mines but fail to ensure comprehensive gas extraction from technogenic accumulations. Therefore, the development of new technologies for managing gas emissions—based on studying the regularities of methane release and accumulation in mined-out spaces and creating safe methods for its extraction and utilization—is of critical importance.
The scientific research project “Research and Justification of Parameters for the Extraction of Mine Methane from Technogenic Accumulations for Its Further Utilization without Disrupting Ecological Balance” aims to establish a scientific foundation for an integrated approach to mine methane management. The implementation of the proposed solutions will enable:
– Reduction of the risk of sudden coal and gas outbursts;
– Improvement of methane safety in mines;
– Decrease in methane emissions into the atmosphere;
– Creation of opportunities for secondary methane use in energy and industrial applications.
Thus, the project directly supports national priorities in ecology, sustainable resource management, and industrial safety, while also contributing to Kazakhstan’s international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Results Achieved in the Second Half of 2025
During the second half of 2025, within the implementation of the first stage of the project, a set of scientific and applied research activities was carried out to obtain experimental data and develop methodological foundations:
– Conducted mine-based monitoring and laboratory studies to determine the methane content of coal seams in the Karaganda Basin, the gas permeability of rocks, and the dynamics of methane emission into mined-out spaces.
– Refined the parameters of formation and behavior of technogenic gas collectors and established patterns of methane emission from fractured rocks.
– Developed a methodology for determining the volume of gas collectors based on pressure and gas volume measurements before and after sampling.
– Analyzed the efficiency of existing degasification technologies and identified directions for their improvement.
-Prepared materials for patenting and registration of copyright objects confirming the originality of scientific findings.
– Obtained Certificate No. 62687 of registration in the State Register of Copyrights and submitted patent applications to the Republic of Kazakhstan.
– The results of this stage served as the basis for developing recommendations to improve degasification efficiency and manage gas emission processes during underground coal mining.

AP26103015 «Development of effective technological schemes of underground geotechnology, ensuring an increase in the completeness of extraction of orebodies»
s.s. Suimbayeva А.
The relevance of the problem of ore body recovery completeness during underground mining is of great importance for the efficient and rational use of mineral reserves in mining enterprises. Properly addressing this issue can significantly increase the extraction of valuable ore components, reduce mining costs, and minimize both the negative environmental impacts and the risks of rock collapse.
In recent years, Kazakhstan has indeed seen an increase in the volume of natural resource extraction. This is due to several factors, including a rise in foreign investments, infrastructure modernization, and an active government policy aimed at supporting the mining industry.
At present, many large enterprises in Kazakhstan face the problem of mineral resource depletion. Over the past decades, mineral deposits have been exploited too intensively, while geological exploration has not yet covered all promising areas. The increase in reserves is mainly due to the reassessment and additional exploration of already discovered deposits. However, a significant portion of the newly registered reserves are located within the influence zones of mined-out areas or contain low concentrations of useful components. Consequently, it is not economically feasible for mining enterprises to extract these ores using existing methods and technologies.
In the proposed project, in order to reduce the loss of minerals during underground mining, various methods will be considered, including the improvement of mining technologies, more thorough planning of mining operations, and the implementation of development systems that allow for greater completeness of ore body extraction from the earth’s subsurface.
Practically all mining enterprises leave behind low-grade mineral reserves as temporarily inactive resources. As a rule, after the extraction of high-grade ore bodies, these reserves remain in zones of rock displacement.
Below, in Figure 1, are presented the volumes of temporarily inactive ore reserves for several gold deposits.
Figure 1 – Volumes of gold deposits left as temporarily inactive reserves
The ore body reserves shown in Figure 1 are located within the rock displacement zone, and the issue of mining these reserves remains relevant, as their extraction requires taking into account the influence zone of the mined-out area.
The Zhezkazgan deposit is one of the largest copper deposits in the country and has a significant impact on the regional economy. The depletion of its reserves has occurred as a result of long-term mineral extraction, which has been carried out since the mid-20th century.
Over many years of mining operations at the Zhezkazgan deposit, significant changes have taken place in the mining and geological as well as mining and technical conditions of development. The reserves of the Central ore field, located closer to the surface and at medium depths up to 500 meters, have been almost completely mined out and exhausted. Currently, mining operations have mostly shifted to peripheral areas (Annen and Akchiy-Spassk mining districts), extending to deep horizons (depths of 500 meters and below) and characterized by complex mining and geological conditions.
The aim of this project is to substantiate the parameters of an effective and safe underground mining technology for ore bodies, taking into account the established dependencies between displacements and stresses of rocks, as well as taking into account the boundaries of the dangerous impact of the mined space and the nature of rock collapse.

AR26199877 ” Development of technology for applying composite protective coatings to parts of equipment in the metallurgical and machine-building industries” S.s. Kulikov V. Yu.
Relevance
The relevance of the project is as follows. A number of parts and equipment in general are operated in aggressive conditions, for example, furnace rollers, pallets are used in thermal furnaces at elevated temperatures, impellers of flotation machines work in conditions of liquid exposure, worms, pistons, friction discs work in conditions of friction, etc. Accordingly, their service life is noticeably lower than parts operating under normal conditions. The use of complex-alloyed steels, such as 77SH steel, Armox (Sweden), MARS (France) steels, significantly increases the cost of such parts.
Recently, new knowledge has been obtained about the mechanism of destruction of parts under the influence of high temperatures or as a result of wear or shock loads, which makes it possible to apply new principles for creating materials with increased operational properties. Currently, the use of new alloying additives to create new even more complex-alloyed alloys that meet increased operational requirements is impossible due to the negative influence of alloying elements among themselves (not to mention the high cost of such alloys), then a promising direction for improving the operational properties of parts is the application of coatings that will provide increased mechanical or physical properties together with the matrix. properties.
Results achieved in the second half of 2025:
The article analyzes the operating conditions of parts in aggressive environments and justifies the choiceof gas-thermal spraying as the optimal protection method. Special attention is paid to the selection of powder materials such as WC/Co, Cr3C2-NiCr, Cr2O3 and Al2O3, depending on the type of wear (corrosion, abrasive, adhesive). Various types of gas-thermal spraying and their advantages are considered.
Samples with two-layer deposition were studied: the first layer is a damping layer consisting of copper and aluminum powders in a ratio of 4:1, and the second layer is a strengthening layer consisting of titanium carbide powder.
It is determined that the proposed powder composition has a positive effect on the strength characteristics due to the use of a damping bond of aluminum and copper in its composition, and the wear resistance of the sprayed sections also increases. The proposed powder composition can be used for application to parts of equipment in the metallurgical and machine-building industries operating in aggressive environments (at high temperatures, high humidity, rubbing steam, etc.).
Studies have shown that the titanium carbide powder used has a significant variation in the dispersion of powder particles, in contrastи to a mixture of copper and aluminum powders. It was determined that oxygen and carbon, titanium, traces of aluminum and nitrogen are present in a sufficiently large amount in the surface layer after the second deposition. Titanium can be present both in the form of titanium carbides and in the form of nitrides, which can play the role of additionalstrengthening phases. This determines the increased hardness and wear resistance of the surface. The coating has a uniform hardness over the entire surface of the coating, and it is also shown that mechanical stresses are small and decrease when a second layer of protective coating is applied.

AR26103843 “Development of Physicochemical Principles for Producing New Materials with Targeted Properties” S.s. Kvon S.S.
Relevance: Improving the reliability, durability, and competitiveness of machine parts, mechanical assemblies, tools, and other components is a priority task of modern engineering (particularly in metallurgy and mechanical engineering). It is well known that increasing the strength and, accordingly, extending the service life of products leads to savings in metal, which makes it possible to reduce the volume of metallurgical production. Thus, in the long run, more rational use of mineral resources can be achieved, i.e., reducing the extraction of raw materials and increasing the metal efficiency of core production assets.
In this regard, surface modification of products using various methods is the most effective approach to obtaining the required set of properties. Methods of surface strengthening treatment belong to high-technology processes based on knowledge from specific areas of physical chemistry and solid-state physics. Therefore, the proposed project is highly relevant for the development of both fundamental and applied research in this field.
Project objective
Establish the mechanism of structure formation in thermal surface-modification processes and develop the theoretical foundations of a technology for producing new materials with predetermined properties.
Achieved results:
To determine the influence of the main parameters of the chemical–thermal treatment process on the structure of the diffusion zone, the following studies were carried out. Steel 20KhM was used as the research material, as it is widely applied in the production of parts operating under complex stress conditions.
1. The optimal composition of the saturating medium for carbonitriding steel 20KhM was determined: acetylene consumption 1.5–2.0 L/min at a temperature of 950 °C; nitrogen consumption 1.5 L/min at a temperature of 850 °C.
2. The nature of the distribution of metal properties (hardness) along the depth of the modified surface was determined. The hardness profile decreases monotonically with depth. At a depth of 200 µm, the drop in microhardness is almost extreme, and at a depth of 500 µm it becomes comparable to the hardness of the matrix.
3. Kinetic features of the distribution of carbon and nitrogen along the depth of the strengthened layer were identified. The results showed that the carbon profile decreases monotonically: the carbon content at the surface is about 0.9%, gradually decreasing, and at a depth of about 800 µm becomes nearly equal to that of the matrix (0.17%). Nitrogen content changes sharply: at the surface it is about 0.6%; at a depth of 200 µm, nitrogen decreases by half and is practically absent further.
To successfully achieve the 2026 Work Plan:
1. One article has been prepared for a journal included in the KOKSNVO list.
2. Two patent applications have been filed in the Republic of Kazakhstan:

AP26199283 «Development of a combined method for processing hard-to-machine materials» S.s. Аbdugaliyeva G.B.
Actuality
Technological equipment for mining, geological exploration, oil and gas, and other industries is manufactured with consideration for extremely challenging operating conditions. These conditions include high temperature and pressure, exposure to rare chemicals, solid abrasive particles, and more.
For the manufacture of parts for this equipment, difficult-to-machine materials with special properties are used to ensure the required performance of machines and industrial installations. These materials include heat-resistant alloys, high-strength steels and alloys, corrosion-resistant and high-alloy steels, as well as austenitic Hadfield steel (110G13L).
Steel 110G13L has high plasticity and wear resistance, and it undergoes significant hardening during cutting, with the hardness of the hardened layer becoming comparable to that of the tool. Steel 110G13L is used to manufacture parts such as tractor tracks, crowns of earthmoving machines, crusher beaters, crusher jaws, mining equipment armor plates, rail frogs and turnouts, mill balls and plates, various gratings, pins, bushings, and more.
When developing technology for the mechanical processing of 110G13L steel blanks, plant specialists encounter difficulties in selecting materials for the cutting part of the tool. In its initial state after hardening, 110G13L steel (Hadfield steel) has an austenitic structure with a hardness of HB 260-300 and high toughness. Under dynamic loads and cold deformation, 110G13L steel self-hardens to HB 600, making it difficult or impossible to machine.
The results of the experimental study demonstrated the feasibility of using the method of thermal friction milling with pulse cooling for processing 110G13L steel. However, there is a challenge associated with ensuring the quality of the processed surface and effective chip crushing during processing.
Purpose of the project
The goal of the project is to improve the quality of manufacturing parts from hard-to-machine materials by developing a highly efficient combined processing method.
Expected and achieved results
Achieved results:
Increase the efficiency and quality of machining hard-to-cut materials, particularly 110G13L steel, by implementing a combined technology that integrates mechanical and thermo-frictional effects, ensuring a 2-3 times increase in productivity and more than a tenfold improvement in tool life. Develop scientifically grounded recommendations and reference data on optimal cutting modes, tool geometry and parameters, as well as the selection of materials for the heating and cutting elements of the combined tool. Enable industrial implementation of the developed technology at domestic machine-building enterprises and establish a scientific and technological foundation for further research and application of combined machining metods.
Methods for computer modeling of the effect of temperature on quality indicators during the combined processing of difficult-to-machine materials, particularly 110G13L steel, will be developed. Additionally, the stress-strain state of the combined tool structure during processing will be studied. Domestic machine-building enterprises are considered potential consumers of the proposed technology.

AP26197113. Development of methods for calculating operation modes, device designs, and materials for exhaust gas cleaning using ultrasonic and laser emission. S.s. Kadyrov A.S.
Relevance: The relevance of the project on the development of exhaust gas purification technology using ultrasonic and laser methods is due to the need to reduce the environmental burden from road transport and reduce the cost of operating exhaust systems. With the development of the automotive industry, the problem of air pollution is becoming more urgent. The increase in the number of cars increases emissions of suspended particles, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, which contributes to the occurrence of diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. And carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global warming, which also requires measures to reduce them. Many countries have adopted the “Euro” emission standards, which require the use of catalytic converters. However, these technologies have limitations, including a limited service life of 100,000-150,000 km, frequent clogging, and low efficiency at low temperatures. Their high cost associated with the use of precious metals often leads to their removal or replacement with less efficient devices, which exacerbates environmental problems. This highlights the need to develop alternative exhaust gas purification technologies. Preliminary studies show that ultrasound in the silencer coagulates small particles into large ones, but a significant part of them remains due to the high flow rate. In this regard, it is proposed to use infrared and ultraviolet lasers for the oxidation and dissociation of particles in combination with a porous material to prevent the accumulation of soot in the muffler. The proposed method will effectively eliminate large and small particles, as well as carcinogenic compounds.
The aim of the project is to develop a methodology for calculating the mode, device design and selection of materials for laser and ultrasonic cleaning of car exhaust gases, directly in the muffler.
Expected and achieved results
Results achieved
During the implementation of the project, the following tasks were completed::
– a critical analysis of scientific publications and patent sources over the past 30-50 years has been carried out, fundamental trends and scientific and technical gaps in the field of physical purification of gases have been identified;
– it has been established that in world practice there are no developments combining ultrasonic and laser effects inside a car muffler for multi-stage exhaust cleaning;
– a morphological analysis of the device design was performed: key parameters were identified, sets of variants were formed, and a morphological matrix was compiled;
– a synthesis of promising design options based on a morphological matrix has been carried out, functionally rational layouts of the gas purification module have been determined;
– the concept of combined effects of ultrasound and laser radiation has been developed, taking into account gas dynamics, thermal and acoustic processes in the exhaust stream;
Expected results:
– the experiment will be planned;

AP26195361 «Developing an integrated method of assessing reliability and predicting the remaining life of structures based on the probabilistic analysis of multivariate results of technical surveys» S.s. Nuguzhinov Zh.S.
Actuality
The relevance of the topic is determined by the growth of capital construction volumes in Kazakhstan and the need to improve the reliability and safety of construction projects through the enhancement of design methods. Modern load-bearing structures must ensure long-term and safe operation while also being economical in terms of material usage. In this context, probabilistic methods for reliability assessment are particularly important, as they allow for accounting for the multifactorial nature of structural performance.
Despite the existence of developed methods in probability theory and mathematical statistics, their application in construction practice remains limited. The introduction of probabilistic approaches into design calculation systems will enable more accurate consideration of random factors affecting the operation of buildings and structures. Therefore, the development and practical application of statistical and probabilistic methods for evaluating the load-bearing capacity and reliability of structures is a relevant scientific and practical task.
Purpose of the project
Development of a scientifically grounded engineering method for assessing the reliability and predicting the remaining service life of structures in especially critical buildings, facilities, and constructions. This method of comprehensive reliability assessment of building structures will ensure a high level of accuracy by taking into account the randomness of external influences, the parameters of spatial-planning and structural solutions of construction objects, and by applying new probabilistic-statistical methods for analyzing the results of technical inspections.
Expected and achieved results
Within the framework of the project, a methodology was developed for collecting and processing statistical data obtained from the results of technical inspections of construction objects. The methodology allows for the formation of variational, interval, and dynamic series. An initial statistical processing of the parameters of structural elements was carried out, including the determination of the mean, variance, correlation, and autocorrelation coefficients. Statistical databases and graphical materials were created to perform probabilistic calculations of load-bearing capacity and reliability.
A comparative analysis of deterministic and probabilistic calculation methods was carried out, and their adaptation to engineering tasks was performed. Criteria were developed for selecting optimal mathematical models to describe random influences and the geometric variability of structural elements.
The scientific novelty of the project lies in the development of a comprehensive probabilistic methodology for assessing the reliability of building structures, taking into account statistical variability and real operating conditions. An original data processing procedure was proposed, and regression methods were applied to assess load-bearing capacity and predict service life. Approaches to determining the probability of failure-free operation of structures were refined by introducing correction coefficients that account for real operational impacts, and patterns of change in failure intensity over time were also studied.
The results of the project are reflected in one article published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
Expected results:
Two articles will be published in peer-reviewed journals included in the Web of Science (Q1 or Q2) and/or Scopus databases with a CiteScore of at least 65%.

Information for potential users
The project will result in the creation of a technology enabling the simultaneous transmission of energy and information in a broadband wavelength range from 650 to 1550 nm using a multi-channel transmission system with a power of 5-15 W over distances of up to 60 km. Two prototypes of an advanced system for simultaneous transmission of energy and information via a microwave oven will be developed, along with working design and technological documentation. Documentation adjustments will be made, test reports will be obtained, and a patent for the invention will be granted.
The technology being developed will enable the simultaneous transmission of energy and data from the source to the facility, as well as the creation of feedback channels. This will enable the creation of next-generation energy-passive systems for monitoring and controlling the condition of extended facilities. Such systems will be highly reliable and capable of operating in explosive environments and areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference.
The economic impact is expected to be achieved by eliminating the need for metal conductors and batteries to power stand-alone stationary devices, particularly in cases where power supply presents technical challenges. The proposed technology completely eliminates the risk of fire and explosion, as well as electromagnetic interference that could negatively impact the operation of electronic devices. The system ensures a high level of safety for maintenance personnel, protects them from electric shock, and is resistant to noise and vibration, which is particularly important for industrial facilities. One application of the system is high-voltage electrical networks, where it can be used to power parametric sensors and cameras for monitoring the technical condition of equipment.
The project will also contribute to the creation of a new scientific school for the training of highly qualified specialists, master’s students and PhDs.
The project also incorporates a gallium arsenide-based photovoltaic cell with a light concentrator and an improved photovoltaic cell cooling system. Unlike similar systems, a specialized cooling technology will be employed, increasing the photovoltaic cell’s efficiency. The proposed system’s fundamental difference from foreign counterparts lies in its ability to simultaneously transmit energy and information from the source to the consumer, separated by wavelength. Furthermore, parallel operation of optical fiber is envisaged to power autonomous consumers and ultra-low-power electronic devices, with the ability to receive data on the object’s state and surroundings via a return channel.

AP26103581 «Development and research of a cost-effective technology for manufacturing precision castings in sand-resin molds obtained using variable static pressure» S.s. Dostayeva А.М.
Relevance
Consumer requirements for improving the efficiency and strength of cast parts for various types of equipment necessitate the development of new technological processes for producing casting molds. Currently, one of the pressing issues in foundry production is improving the surface cleanliness of castings and reducing defects that arise due to casting defects. The solution to this problem can be achieved by manufacturing castings using shell molds made from sand-resin mixtures. Such mixtures make it possible to obtain high-quality castings from various alloys.
However, the widespread industrial application of these mixtures is hindered by the relatively high cost of the binder — pulverized bakelite. In this regard, research aimed at improving technological processes for producing strong sand-resin molds while reducing the binder content in the mixture without deteriorating other parameters is of great relevance. The results of the conducted studies are directed toward solving these problems. By applying static pressure, it becomes possible to reduce the cost of the binder component.
Achieved results in the 2nd half of 2025:
An analysis of the issues related to the production of castings made in sand-resin molds has been carried out. More than 70 sources of modern and classical literature have been reviewed, including articles from the Scopus and Clarivate Analytics databases.
It has been determined that, in general, the use of sand-resin molds ensures the production of castings with high structural quality and the absence of defects. Sand-resin molds provide a precise imprint of the internal cavity, which contributes to high geometric and dimensional accuracy, low surface roughness of the casting, and minimal burn-on. The high gas permeability of the mold allows for the production of dense, non-porous castings. The burnout of the resin upon interaction with molten metal enables the removal of castings with lower energy consumption, while the shell mold itself initially possesses relatively high strength and hardness.
However, it should be noted that this casting method is used relatively rarely in production. For example, in the Karaganda region, casting is predominantly carried out using gasifiable models. The reasons for this situation are two main drawbacks of sand-resin molds:
– the high cost of the binder (pulverized bakelite);
– the release of harmful substances (ammonia, phenol) during resin burnout.
Thus, it has been determined that reducing the use of pulverized bakelite in the mixture will both lower the cost of the mold and contribute to the improvement of sanitary and hygienic conditions in the workplace.
It has been determined that, in global practice, studies have been conducted on the use of not only thermal effects on the resin during mold formation but also static pressure. This leads to increased strength due to the more uniform distribution of resin and sand. The work proposes the use of variable pressure, as the resin changes its physical state during heating (solid – viscous – solid).
It has also been determined that, in addition to the main components—resin and sand—auxiliary components such as white spirit, kerosene, acetone, graphite, talc, and others can and should be used in the mixture.
A series of basic experiments has been conducted on the application of variable static pressure for the production of sand-resin molds under laboratory conditions.
