Thecompressive strength, chloride permeability, carbonationdepth and drying shrinkage of concrete and the microstructurecharacteristics of hardened paste were studied. Results showthat the steam-cured concrete containing steel slag at a highwater-to-binder ratio has low compressive strength, coarsepore structure, moderate permeability, large carbonation depthand great drying shrinkage. The negative effects of steel slagon the mechanical and durability performance of steam-curedconcrete become smaller at a low water-to-binder ratio or byadding ultrafine ground granulated blast furnace slag（UGGBS）. The later-age hydration of cement is significantlypromoted by adding steel slag. The pozzolanic reaction andmicro-filler effect of UGGBS result in dense structure, whichmakes great contribution to the strength development anddurability performance of steam-cured concrete. These effectsof steel slag and UGGBS are significant at a low water tobinder ratio. The steam-cured concrete containing steel slag-UGGBS blended mineral admixture at a low water-to-binderratio has the best performance with high compressive strength,fine pore structure and good durability.展开更多

Properties such as apparent density, compressive strength, bending strength, thermal conductivity, water resistance, and thermal tolerance of this matrial are studied, some influencing factors on its performance discussed. This material has an apparent density of 360 kg/m3, a compressive strength of 1.86 MPa, a thermal conduction coefficient of 0.072 W/(m·K), a softening coefficient of 0.55, and a thermal tolerant temperature of 300 °C. Test results show that this material is light in weight, of high strength, and good thermal insulation. In addition, neither steam-curing nor sintering is needed in producing it. Further more, large amount of fly ash is used in this material, making it a low cost and environment-friendly building material.展开更多

The changes in the microstructure of tubes due to the interaction with steam were investigated. A comparison was made between the oxidation rate of this material (weight gain) and the data on the oxidation of other alloys for nuclear power plants. The oxidation rate of Zr1Nb(0.1% O) is close to the oxidation rate of other zirconium alloys. It is shown that after chemical treatment of the surface of the samples there is a more even growth of oxide films, and they have a smaller thickness for the same time of exposure than after mechanical grinding. Surface treatment before oxidation also affects the change of microstructure of samples when heated to high temperatures.展开更多
