Abstract

A process for regulating the hardening speed of a self-hardening mold which comprises adding an alcohol as a hardening speed regulating agent when a mold is formed with molding sand prepared by adding a polyvinyl alcohol solution and a boron compound to refractory particles and then kneading the mixture. As the hardening speed regulating agent, polyhydric alcohol such as ethylene glycol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, etc., and monohydric alcohols such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, etc., may be used.
