Abstract
Abstract
This paper discusses impedance spectroscopy as a method to characterize different types of quartz sand, chromite sand, and mixtures of sand. Based on two types of measurement cells, the impedance spectra for various dry sands were measured. The spectra differ enough to allow the sands to be distinguished. The results were validated by extracting the relative permittivity from the impedance and comparing it to literature data. After that, the method could be applied with confidence to other material systems. The influence of moisture was investigated with two types of quartz sand, and typical mixtures of form sand, chromite sand, and regenerated (quartz) sand were studied. In each case, the sand composition had a distinct influence on the Nyquist plot of the impedance spectrum. Compared to results from a laboratory foundry system, the new method exhibits a much more systematic dependence on the sand composition. If one succeeds in describing the impedance spectra with an equivalent circuit model parameterized by only a few parameters, these parameters could be used to identify and classify sand mixtures in the field. This would allow one, for example, to implement feedback control strategies in foundry regeneration processes, which would stabilize the processes and improve the quality of the casting products.
