The bending strength of composite made from fly ash and glass waste can be improved by controlling chemical composition of the raw materials and sintering temperatures. In this study, the composites made from mixture of various weight fractions between fly ash (FA) and glass waste (GL). Each mixture was uni-axially pressed with various compacting pressures to produce green body. The formed green body was then sintered at various temperatures from 900 °C to 1100°C for 2h. From the experimental result, it shows that the bending strength of composite fly ash and glass waste is highly varied based on the weight fraction of glass waste content, sintering temperatures and compacting pressures. The highest bending strength value is 44.53 MPa obtained from specimen that contains 50 (% wt.) of glass waste with sintering temperature of 1050 °C and compacting pressure of 130 MPa. A thermal shock test was performed on the specimen composites of 50FA-50GL by heating up to various temperatures and followed by quenching (rapid cooling) to water media. Bending test was then done on the thermal shocked specimen. The bending strength of specimen decreases sharply around 80.93 % from its original strength when subjected to temperature gradient (ΔT) of 285 °C.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely investigated for preparing polymer nanocomposites, owing to their unique mechanical properties. However, dispersing CNTs uniformly in a polymer matrix and controlling their entanglement/agglomeration are still big technical challenges to be overcome. The costs of their raw materials and production are also still high. In this work, we propose the use of CNTs grown on oil fly ash to solve these issues. The CNTs of oil fly ash were evaluated as reinforcing materials for some common thermoplastics. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) was mainly reinforced with various weight fractions of CNTs. Xylene was used as a solvent to dissolve HDPE and to uniformly disperse the CNTs. Significantly enhanced mechanical properties of HDPE reinforced at a low weight fraction of these CNTs (1–2 wt.%), mainly the tensile strength, Young’s modulus, stiffness, and hardness, were observed. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus were enhanced by ~20 and 38%, respectively. Moreover, the nanoindentation results were found to be in support to these findings. Polycarbonate, polypropylene, and polystyrene were also preliminarily evaluated after reinforcement with 1 wt.% CNTs. The tensile strength and Young’s Modulus were increased after reinforcement with CNTs. These results demonstrate that the CNTs of the solid waste, oil fly ash, might serve as an appropriate reinforcing material for different thermoplastics polymers.

Low-carbon Al2O3-C refractories were prepared using white fused corundum, α-Al2O3 powders and flake graphite as main raw materials. The critical particle sizes of corundum selected in this experiment were 0.5mm, 1mm and 2mm. The effects of corundum critical particle size on physical, mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties of low-carbon Al2O3-C refractories were investigated. The results show that the increase of critical particle size is conducive to the improvement of thermal shock resistance and fracture energy, but little effect on thermal expansion. The cold modulus of rupture after thermal shock test of samples using 0.5mm critical particle size corundum was 2.09MPa, while using 2mm critical particle size corundum was 2.98MPa. And the fracture energy increased from 265N/mm to 588N/mm when the critical particle size increased from 0.5mm to 2mm. The effects of critical particle size on apparent porosity, bulk density and modulus of rupture were insignificant.

This article examines the utilization of fly ash in comparison with alumina as raw materials and sources of aluminium oxide for synthesis of forsterite-spinel refractory ceramics. Raw materials were milled, mixed in different ratios into two sets of mixtures and sintered at 1500°C for 2 hours. Sintered samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Samples were also subjected to determination of porosity, water absorption and bulk density. Thermal and thermomechanical properties were determined by thermal analyses, refractoriness, refractoriness under load, thermal shock resistance and thermal dilatometric analysis with determination of thermal expansion coefficient. Mixtures with 10 wt.% and 20 wt.% of fly ash had the most promising results compared to alumina mixtures. Thermal shock resistance and modulus of rupture were improving with increasing content of aluminium oxide in the mixture.

This paper reports a comparative study on characterization and thermal shock behavior of air plasma sprayed Al2O3-13wt.%TiO2 coatings using two kinds of raw materials, i.e. nanostructural and micro-structural (traditional) feedstock powders. The characterization, before and after thermal shock test, was carried out using micro-Vickers hardness tester, XRD and SEM. The thermal shock test was carried out using a water quenching method by employing cyclic heat treatment between ambient temperature and 650°C in air. The results showed that in spite of having denser structure, the nanostructural coating showed hardness a little lower than the traditional one at both conditions of before and after thermal shock tests. However, the nanostructural coating showed very good thermal shock behaviour.

Al2O3 composite ceramics materials used for heat transmission pipeline were prepared by pressureless sintering in air. Calcined bauxite, talc and commercial alumina powder were used as the main raw materials, partially stabilized zirconia was also added to improve the thermal shock resistance of the samples. The effects of composition and sintering temperature on density, phase composition, microstructure and thermal shock behavior of samples were evaluated. It shows that the B2 sample which was sintered at 1400 °C for 2 h has optimal properties with porosity 0.4%, bulk density 3.2 g•cm-3.The bending strength increases 19.46 MPa after 30 times thermal shock cycles from 1100 °C to room temperature. The main phases of B2 are corundum and spinel, meanwhile, a small amount of monoclinic zirconia and α-quartz are also detected according to XRD pattern. Microstructure analysis reveals that spinel crystals are interlocked by prismatic corundum crystals, bright white beaded monoclinic zirconia particles are distributed uniformly, and it is beneficial to improve the thermal shock resistance of sample.

The Al2O3-Fe2O3 composite was prepared at 1550°C for 3h with alumina powder and ferric oxide powder as raw materials and with magnesia powder as additive. The effect of molar ratio of Al2O3 to Fe2O3 on the sintering and thermal shock resistance of the composite materials was studied. The results showed that the apparent porosity and bulk density of the samples both decreased with the molar ratio of Al2O3 to Fe2O3 increase, as a result, the linear change ratio and bending strength both increased. When the molar ratio of Al2O3 to Fe2O3 equals to 3, the sample exhibits excellent thermal shock resistance. The XRD and SEM analysis results indicated that the mechanical and thermal proprieties are relative to the microstructure and crystal phases of the composite materials.

The main aim of the presented article is to describe the behavior of class C fly ash—kaolin plastic doughs during the ageing process. Class C fly ash (CCFA) from the fluidized technology of fuel combustion in a thermal power plant was used as a non-plastic admixture to modify the plasticity in a kaolin–quartz sand mixture (for example, the base of a porcelain mixture). The ageing of plastic ceramic dough determined the effect of the CCFA admixture (0–10–20 wt. %) on the initial water content, plasticity (according to the Pfefferkorn test) and bulk density of a dried green body. The main feature of the CCFA admixture in the kaolin–quartz sand mixture is a solidifying effect. Fly ash increases the initial (mixing) water for the preparation of ceramic dough with constant plasticity (30 mm height of deformed cone Hf, according to the Pfefferkorn test), and Hf increases as the dough ages (the dough solidifies faster and loses its plasticity) with the addition of class C fly ash. The effect of CCFA addition on the plasticity and ageing of kaolin–quartz sand dough is documented on Bigot curves: higher content of fly ash decreases the drying shrinkage of the plastic dough, especially when drying samples that have been aged for 24 h in a plastic wrap (without the possibility of drying). The plastic dough’s ageing increases the porosity of the dried green body with increased content of CCFA in the raw materials mixture and increased ageing time.

This research aims to investigate mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composites reinforced with fly ash (AMC/Fly ash) produced using hot extrusion.AMC/Fly ash was prepared from aluminum fine powder as matrix and fly ash as reinforcement. The various amount of fly ash of 5%; 7.5%; 10%; 12.5% and 15% wt were added to the aluminum fine powder. Each composition was mixed using rotary mixer for 3 hours. The mixture was compacted using uniaxial pressing with a pressure of 100 MPa to produce green body. The green body was hot extruded with an extrusion ratio of 0.25 and temperature of 600ºC. Bending strength, Vickers hardness, wear rate and porosity of the AMC/fly ash were measured. The microstructure was observed using SEM. The results show that mechanical properties of the composites such as bending strength and Vickers hardness increase, porosity and wear rate decrease with increasing fly ash content up to 12.5 wt %. Above 12.5 wt % of fly ash those mechanical properties of composites seems to be inverse. The properties of AMC/12.5 wt % fly ash produced using hot extrusion from green body showing the best properties in term of the bending strength, Vickers hardness, porosity and wear resistance, that are 302 MPa; 79 VHN; 0.73 % and 0,0095 mg/(MPa.m), respectively.

Sheet nanocarbon-Al2O3 composite powders were produced by vibratory milling using expanded graphite and Al2O3 powders as raw materials. The effect of different vibratory milling time on phase compositions and microstructure of the composite powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Then sheet nanocarbon-Al2O3 composite powders were used as additives to produce low carbon Al2O3-C refractories which had a carbon content of 6%. The results showed that about 50nm thickness sheet nanocarbon and Al2O3 composite powders were produced via 15h milling with expanded graphite to Al2O3 powders weight ratio of 1:2. With the increasing of milling time, the (002) diffraction peaks of graphite wear off gradually and nanosheet was desquamated from expanded graphite; It is beneficial to improve the bulk density, cold modulus of rupture (CMOR) and thermal shock resistance of Al2O3-C refractories when adding certain sheet nanocarbon-Al2O3 composite powders. The sample containing 0.5% sheet nanocarbon had a CMOR of 18.51MPa after 1000 °C heat processing in N2 atmosphere, while sample without adding any sheet nanocarbon was only 12.35MPa; The residual cold modulus of rupture (CMORTS) of sample containing 1% sheet nanocarbon was 4.22MPa after thermal shock test, while that of sample without nanocarbon was only 2.18MPa.
