Scanning Electron Microscope in Rocks and their Comparison with Physical-Mechanical Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

. Banks of stone materials from Michoacán, Mexico were characterized, since they are used in the construction of infrastructure in the area. With these materials are made hydraulic concrete mixtures or asphalt mixtures, foundations, paving stones and in restoration of historical monuments. The rocks analyzed and characterized, come from banks of volcanic stone materials and banks of crushed stone materials, which were subjected to mechanical tests such as uniaxial compression resistance (UCR), in addition was used scanning electron microscope (SEM), by means of which the characterization was carried out, obtaining morphological information of the material. The comparison of physical-mechanical properties with the elements they possess is important to estimate their behavior within ceramic matrices or as a structural element.
