Positive Effect

The paper presents the results of experimental investigation of lightweight cementitious composites with cenospheres (LCCC) exposed to high temperatures. We showed the positive effect of cenospheres on post- fire residual compressive strength in previous papers. This paper focuses on the LCCC with the addition of polypropylene (PP) fibres. Specimens are heated up to 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 °C. Then they are cooled to ambient temperature and their residual flexural and compressive strength is tested. The results are compared with non-heated specimens with compressive strength above 50 MPa. For plain LCCC composites, the results show significant improvement of residual compressive strength in comparison with typical concretes. No significant changes of compressive strength are found after exposure to temperatures up to 600°C – more than 85 % of the residual compressive strength is retained after exposure to this temperature for both mixes. Polypropylene fibres are found to be a successful mean to mitigate spalling without significantly lowering neither ambient nor residual compressive strength. Moreover, designed composite has low density and low thermal conductivity at room temperature.

Thin Steel

An experimental investigation was carried out to braze diamond abrasives onto thin steel wires, in which case the brazing was conducted in the vacuum and under high temperatures by using a nickel-based powder as brazing alloy. The morphologies and microstructures of the brazed wires were observed and the comprehensive mechanical properties of the brazed wires were tested. The brazed wires were also used to cut such brittle materials as ceramics, glass, and natural stone. It is shown that a typical phenomenon of brazing alloy’s climbing around the diamond grains was observed in brazing the wires. Through observing the cross-section of brazed wires, it is observed that there is a good bonding between the brazing alloy and the body of steel wires. The crystal grains of the steel wires grew significantly after brazing. Through observing the morphologies of the diamond wires and the surfaces of four workpiece materials, few diamond pull-outs were found on the wires and the kerfs on the workpiece materials were basically flat.

Cement Board

An experimental investigation was performed to evaluate the properties of cement-bonded particleboard made from Sesendok wood. The target board density was set at a standard 1200 kg m". The effect offarticle size, wood to cement ratio and the addition ofsodium silicate and aluminium silicate on the wood cement board properties has been evaluated. A change ofparticle size from 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm has a significant effect on the mechanical properties, however the physical properties deteriorate. Increasing the wood to cement ratio from 1:2.25 to 1:3 decreases the modulus ofrupture (MOR) by 11% and the addition ofsodium silicate improves valuesfurther by about 28% compared to the addition ofaluminum silicate. The modulus ofelasticity (MOE) in general increases with increasing cement content, but is not significantly affected by the addition ofsodium silicate or aluminium silicate, although the addition of their mixture (sodium silicate andaluminium silicate) consistentlyyields greater MOE values. Water absorption and thickness swelling is significantly affected by the inclusion ofadditives and better values are attained using higher wood to cement ratios.

Abstract CF8C-Plus is an austenitic casting grade similar to CF8C, but with improved chemistry to stay fully austenitic at high temperatures and thus retain good mechanical properties. This datasheet provides information on composition, microstructureand tensile properties as well as fracture toughness, creep, and fatigue. It also includes information on casting and joining.
