Resistance of Refractory Cement Composite to Cyclic Temperature Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to describe mechanical properties decline and macroscopic changes after cyclic thermal load of refractory slabs. Investigated elements were made from refractory cement composite containing natural basalt aggregate, fine ceramic powder, aluminous cement with high volume of Al2O3, different dosage of basalt fibres, water and plasticizer. Slabs with dimension 300 x 200 x 38 mm were exposed to elevated temperature 600 °C for three hours (temperature gradient 10 °C/min) and cooled to laboratory condition. This loading cycle was repeated six times. Tensile characteristics were investigated by bending test with clear span of supports 200 mm. Maximum force and displacement increased with increasing amount of basalt fibres. Maximum flexural strength of slabs corresponded to material characteristics measured on specimens 40 x 40 x 160 mm. Slabs with 1% of basalt fibres achieved flexural strength 4.8 MPa (after six loading cycles). The highest weight decline took place after the first loading cycle. Successful design of original fibre-cement composite has been approved by cyclic loading of larger dimension specimens.
