2. Description of the Related Art A foaming fluidized self-hardening mold using an organic binder is prepared by mixing a molding sand, an acid-curable binder, an acid-curing agent, a surfactant and water to form a surfactant and a water. A composition for self-hardening mold (hereinafter referred to as a foaming fluid mixture) that is fluidized (foaming fluidity) by interposing sand bubbles between bubbles generated by the action of and is poured into a molding die and filled to form a foamed state. It is known to be produced by curing an acid-curable binder at room temperature by the action of an acid curing agent while retaining the above (for example, JP-A-53-99033). And, the molding method of this kind of self-hardening mold, since it is sufficient to pour and fill the foaming fluid mixture into the molding die as described above, it is troublesome and takes time and labor like other self-hardening mold molding methods. There is an advantage that labor saving can be achieved, for example, there is no need for ramming work at the time of molding and only vibration work is required.

However, since the foaming fluid mixture has foaming fluidity which does not hinder the molding operation as described above, since a large amount of water is generally used, the curing reaction of the acid-curable binder is slow and the molding is long. It takes time. Therefore, the packed bed (mold forming part) of the foaming fluid mixture in the molding die is liable to cause settling due to the breakage of bubbles existing between the sand grains, that is, the mold shrinks during molding, and the obtained mold has dimensional accuracy. There was a problem of chipping.

After 4 hours, the height h (mm) from the top to the bottom is measured and the slump rate is calculated by the following formula. The larger the slump rate, the better the fluidity of the foaming fluid mixture. Slump rate (%) = {(140-h) / 140} × 10
0 (2) Shrinkage of mold during molding: A foaming fluid mixture is poured from the top into a polyvinyl chloride pipe mold (inner diameter 100 mm, height 1000 mm) to scrape off excess sand and immediately scrape it off with an iron plate. And leave it for 24 hours in an atmosphere with a temperature of 25 ° C and a relative humidity of 60%, remove the iron plate, measure the distance from the upper end of the polyvinyl chloride pipe mold to the upper surface of the mold with a caliper, and shrink the mold (mm ). It can be said that the smaller the value, the better the stability of the bubbles.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The organic foaming fluidized self-hardening mold composition (foaming fluidity mixture) according to the present invention uses a compound that generates carbon dioxide by a chemical reaction, so that it does not impair foaming fluidity during molding. The contraction of the mold can be suppressed. Furthermore, by using a thickener, it is possible to more effectively suppress the shrinkage of the mold during molding. Of course, the foaming fluidity is not impaired. It was also confirmed that the shrinkage of the mold during molding can be suppressed more effectively by using the recycled sand of the used acid-curable mold.
