This paper summarizes the results of an experimental program aimed at investigating of the mechanical properties of composites based on aluminous cement for high-temperature applications and deal with the influence of high-thermal loading on polycarboxylate superplasticizing (PCSP) additive contained in the composite. The intent of this examination was caused by the suspicion that the action of high-temperatures can lead to burnout of the PCSP additive and thus subsequently affecting the mechanical properties of the final composite. Silica composites based on Portland cement and silica aggregates are not able to resist the effects of high-temperatures [1]. For high-temperature composites was therefore used aluminous cement Secar®71 (Lafarge S.A.) in combination with crushed basalt aggregates of fraction 0/4 and 2/5 mm. The flexural strength was greatly improved thanks combinations of basalt fibers with lengths of 6.35 mm and 12.7 mm. The values ​​of flexural strength and compression strength were investigated on samples dried at temperature 105 °C or loaded for 180 minutes with high-temperature of 600 °C or 1 000 °C.

Article presents the results of an experimental program aimed at investigating of the mechanical properties of composites based on aluminous cement with the addition of basalt fibres, which could be used in the manufacture of components resistant to high temperatures, including the retention of mechanical properties. Silica composites based on Portland cement and silica aggregates are not able to resist the effects of high temperatures [1], therefore a heat resistant mixtures in this experiment includes only components that are able to resist the effects of high temperatures.

The following article deals with the study of mechanical properties of aluminous cement composites exposure to high temperatures. The newly designed mixtures that resist the action of high temperatures 1000 °C find their application in various fields of industrial production or in the form of fire wall for protection bearing structures. All the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and tensile strength in bending were measured on samples 160x40x40 mm. These samples were exposed to temperatures 600 °C and 1000 °C and one group of samples was reference and stayed in laboratory condition. Aluminous cement unlike the common Portland cement keeps sufficient strength even after high temperature exposure. For ensuring required ductility the basalt fibers were added to the mixture. In an effort to use of secondary raw materials as a replacement for cement as well as a suitable binder was used metakaolin and ground brick dust. Very convenient characteristics of these components are their latent hydraulic potential that makes interesting hydration products.

In this paper, there are summarized the results of an experimental program focused on basic, mechanical and thermal properties of cement composites according to the high – temperature loading. Four different materials were studied, which differed in used kind of cement and amount of fibers. As a matrix for studied composites the aluminous cement was chosen because of its resistance in high temperature. For a comparison the Portland cement was also tested. The second main ingredient used to provide better resistance in high temperatures - the basalt aggregate, was mixed in every specimen. The basalt fibers were chosen for two of the measured samples, remaining two ones were tested without fibers. The obtained data in this presented analyses show that the application of the aluminous cement leads to increase (depending on temperature) of porosity, which is the cause of decreasing of the coefficient of thermal conductivity. It can seems, that these cement composites will have low mechanical strength in high temperatures, but because of better sintering, the aluminous cement keeps its strength in high temperatures better than Portland cement.

Present paper deals with the experimental study of the composition of refractory fiber-reinforced aluminous cement based composites and its response to gradual thermal loading. Basalt fibers were applied in doses of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0% in volume. Simultaneously, binder system based on the aluminous cement was modified by fine ground ceramic powder originated from the accurate ceramic blocks production. Ceramic powder was dosed as partial replacement of used cement of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%. Influence of composition changes was evaluated by the results of physical and mechanical testing; compressive strength, flexural strength, bulk density, and fracture energy were determined on the different levels of temperature loading. Increased dose of basalt fibers allows reaching expected higher values of fracture energy, but with respect to results of compressive and flexural strength determination as an optimal rate of basalt fibers dose was considered 0.25% in volume. Fine ground ceramic powder application led to extensive increase of residual mechanical parameters just up to replacement of 10%. Higher replacement of aluminous cement reduced final values of bulk density but kept mechanical properties on the level of mixtures without aluminous cement replacement.

The aim of the present paper is to study the mechanical properties of aluminate cement mortar mixed with different chopped fibers under high temperature. The specimens with a size of 40 mm ? 40 mm ? 160 mm is treated at various tempera?tures of 25?C, 200?C, 400?C, 600?C, and 800?C. The compressive and flexural strength of the aluminate cement mortar and its micro-structures are tested. The results show that the chopped steel fibers and basalt fibers are effective in improv?ing the high temperature mechanical properties of aluminate cement mortar. When the volume fraction of chopped steel fibers is 2%, the compressive strength and flexural strength of the test block treated at the temperature of 800?C increase by 18.3% and 128.6%, respectively.

Fundamental tasks of material engineers are the application of materials, which can be manufactured from the less valuable materials with conservation or increasing of final properties, predominantly higher strength and durability. Present paper contributes to the category of experimental research of special composites development. Article describes the application of secondary raw materials for the production of special fibre-reinforced composite for high temperature application. These secondary raw materials are arising by the recycling of waste produced in the building industry or by the recycling of cast-off materials. Aim of performed experimental program was to prepare lightweight refractory materials based on aluminous cement with sufficient mechanical properties. Application of secondary raw materials could be interesting solution with environmental benefits. Investigation of new type of fire resistant composites were realized on the base mechanical properties determination after high temperature exposure.

The paper presents the impact of doses of an air-entraining additive on the mechanical properties of a composite based on aluminous cement. The presented data have been selected from the authors’ most recent research, which supports an economic development of a lightweight composite with the ability to withstand elevated temperatures of up to 1000 °C. The interest in the behaviour of concrete at high temperatures mainly results from the many cases of fires taking place in buildings, high-rises, tunnels, and drilling platform structures. Operation at high temperatures is also of fundamental importance to many major sectors of industry, including material production and processing, chemical engineering, power generation and more. Concrete has a great intrinsic behaviour when exposed to fire, especially when compared to other building materials. However, its fire resistance should not be taken for granted and proper structural fire protection is certainly necessary, e.g. in the form of high-temperature barriers. For the purposes of this experiment, the specimens were composed of cement paste and an air-entraining additive dosage between 2 – 10 % by weight of the cement dose. The properties of investigated specimens, dried at a temperature of 105 °C, were compared with each other. Values of compressive strength, flexural strength, and bulk density are measured in this work. The purpose was to evaluate the effects of the air-entraining agent on the workability of a fresh mixture, its bulk density, and mechanical properties after drying. In the case of a mixture with added short basalt fibres, the effects after high thermal loading were also evaluated. The proposed composites with air-entraining additive over 8 % shown the values of bulk density below 1800 kg/m3, along with the satisfactory strength results.

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of high temperature in injection molding process on mechanical properties of the warp-knitted and nonwoven composite fabrics (WNC)used in car interior. Tensile, tearing and peeling properties of WNC fabrics were tested after heat treatment under120, 140,160,180°C respectively. It was found that, after 140°C heat treatment, the breaking and tearing value of these WNC fabrics are lower than others. The results of this study show that this phenomenon is due to the material properties of fabrics. These high temperatures have no much effect on peeling properties of these WNC fabrics. It is concluded that in order to preserve the mechanical properties of these WNC fabrics, the temperature near 140°C should be avoided possibly during injection molding process.
