Постановка задачи. Модернизация систем изоляции инженерных сооружений, в том числе и трубопроводов и промышленных объектов, направлена как на решение общих задач энергоэффективности, так и частных задач теплосбережения и экологической безопасности. В связи с этим разработка и применение связующего, отверждаемого при значительно меньших температурах и не содержащего фенолы, является актуальной задачей. Результаты. Эксперимент, проведенный для оценки влияния на адгезию к различным поверхностям комплексного связующего, отверждаемого в температурном интервале от 80 до 140 С, позволил определить оптимальные расходы латентного компонента и модификатора, которые составили соответственно 3,6-4,0 % и (2,6 ± 0,1) % по массе связующего при оптимальной температуре тепловой обработки 100 С. Расчетом установлено, что при переходе от тепловой обработки при 250 С к тепловой обработке при 100 С прямые затраты тепла снижаются на 60 %, а энергетические затраты на изготовление минераловатных цилиндров на 20-30 %. Выводы. Теоретически обоснована и экспериментально подтверждена возможность применения эпоксидного клея на латентных отвердителях в качестве связующего для высокопористых систем с распределением и отверждением этого связующего на тонких минеральных волокнах. Определены характеристические параметры процесса отверждения, длительность которого уменьшается с повышением температуры и содержания латентного отвердителя. Statement of the problem. The modernization of insulation systems of engineering structures, including pipelines and industrial facilities, is aimed both at solving general problems of energy efficiency, as well as the particular tasks of heat saving and environmental safety. Therefore the development and use of a binder that cures at much lower temperatures and does not contain phenols is an urgent task. Results. An experiment conducted to assess the effect on adhesion to various surfaces of a complex binder cured in the temperature range from 80 to 140 °C allowed us to determine the optimal flow rate of the latent component and modifier, which were 3.6-4.0 % and (2.6 ± 0.1) % respectively by the weight of a binder at an optimal heat treatment temperature of 100 °C. The calculation suggests that when switching from heat treatment at 250 °C to heat treatment at 100 °C, direct heat costs are reduced by 60 %, and energy costs for the manufacture of mineral wool cylinders by 20-30 %. Conclusion. The possibility of using epoxy glue on latent hardeners as a binder for highly porous systems with the distribution and curing of this binder on thin mineral fibers has been justified theoretically and confirmed experimentally. The characteristic parameters of the curing process have been identified whose duration decreases as temperature and the content of latent hardener increase.

This paper considers the fundamental problem of artificial lighting in various types and scales of industrial facilities, focusing on exterior lighting design solutions. There is a lack of interest from investors, customers and society in high­quality lighting design for industrial facilities in Russia, which in many cities are very imaginative structures, practically unused in the evening. Architectural lighting of various types of installations is illustrated with photographs. The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the aesthetic value of industrial structures, provided not only by the architectural, but also by a welldesigned lighting solution.

Burning loss of graphene in the high-temperature plasma-spraying process is a critical issue, significantly limiting the remarkable performance improvement in graphene reinforced ceramic coatings. Here, we reported an effective approach to enhance the graphene retention, and thus improve the performance of plasma-sprayed alumina/graphene nanoplatelets (Al2O3/GNPs) coatings by heat treatment of agglomerated Al2O3/GNPs powders. The effect of powder heat treatment on the microstructure, GNPs retention, and electrical conductivity of Al2O3/GNPs coatings were systematically investigated. The results indicated that, with the increase in the powder heat treatment temperature, the plasma-sprayed Al2O3/GNPs coatings exhibited decreased porosity and improved adhesive strength. Thermogravimetric analysis and Raman spectra results indicated that increased GNPs retention from 12.9% to 28.4%, and further to 37.4%, as well as decreased structural defects, were obtained for the AG, AG850, and AG1280 coatings, respectively, which were fabricated by using AG powders without heat treatment, powders heat-treated at 850 °C, and powders heat-treated at 1280 °C. Moreover, the electrical conductivities of AG, AG850, and AG1280 coatings exhibited 3 orders, 4 orders, and 7 orders of magnitude higher than that of Al2O3 coating, respectively. Powder heat treatment is considered to increase the melting degree of agglomerated alumina particles, eventually leaving less thermal energy for GNPs to burn; thus, a high retention amount and structural integrity of GNPs and significantly enhanced electrical conductivity were achieved for the plasma-sprayed Al2O3/GNPs coatings.

The influence of heat treatment on the physico-mechanical properties, water resistance, and creep behavior of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) was determined in this study. The results revealed that the density, moisture content, and flexural properties showed negative relationships with the heat treatment temperature, while an improvement in the dimensional stability (anti-swelling efficiency and anti-water absorption efficiency) of heat-treated samples was observed during water absorption tests. Additionally, the creep master curves of the untreated and heat-treated samples were successfully constructed using the stepped isostress method (SSM) at a series of elevated stresses. Furthermore, the SSM-predicted creep compliance curves fit well with the 90-day full-scale experimental data. When the heat treatment temperature increased to 180 °C, the degradation ratio of the creep resistance (rd) significantly increased over all periods. However, the rd of the tested bamboo decreased as the heat treatment temperature increased up to 220 °C.

Powder metallurgical TiAl alloy was fabricated by gas atomization powders, and the effect of heat treatment temperature on the microstructure evolution and room tensile properties of PM TiAl alloy was investigated. The uniform fine duplex microstructure was formed in PM TiAl based alloy after being heat treated at 1250/2h followed by furnace cooling (FC)+ 900/6h (FC). When the first step heat treatment temperature was improved to 1360/1h, the near lamellar microstructure was achieved. The ductility of the alloy after heat treatment improved markedly to 1.2% and 0.6%, but the tensile strength decreased to 570MPa and 600MPa compared to 655MPa of as-HIP TiAl alloy. Post heat treatment at the higher temperature in the alpha plus gamma field would regenerate thermally induced porosity (TIP).
