%0 Journal Article %T Prevention of burn-on defect on surface of hydroturbine blade casting of ultra-low-carbon refining stainless steel %A Li Ling %A Xie Huasheng %A Huang Danzhong %J China Foundry %D 2008 %I Foundry Journal Agency %X The burn-on sand is common surface defect encountered in CO2-cured silicate-bonded sand casting of hydroturbine blade of ultra-low-carbon martensitic stainless steel, its feature, causes and prevention measures are presented in this paper. Experiments showed that the burn-on defect is caused by oxidization of chromium in the molten steel at high temperature and can be effectively eliminated by using chromium-corundum coating. %K burn-on defect %K ultra-low-carbon martensitic stainless steel %K chromium-corundum coatings %U http://www.foundryworld.com/uploadfile/20094132597705.pdf
