Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A method of preparing a foundry core which comprises the steps of mixing with a neutral or acidic core sand an aromatic or aliphatic sulfonic acid and a metal compound reactable at substantially ambient temperature with said sulfonic acid to form a latent metal sulfonate catalyst for curable binders and then mixing with the treated core sand a curable binder, forming said treated core sand and binder into a desired shape and heating to cure said binder to produce said sand core.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
82 words
A method of preparing a foundry core which comprises the steps of mixing with a neutral or acidic core sand an aromatic or aliphatic sulfonic acid and a metal compound reactable at substantially ambient temperature with said sulfonic acid to form a latent metal sulfonate catalyst for curable binders and then mixing with the treated core sand a curable binder, forming said treated core sand and binder into a desired shape and heating to cure said binder to produce said sand core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the metal compound reactable with sulfonic acid is a metal carbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the metal compound reactable with sulfonic acid is copper carbonate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the curable binder is a furan resin.
