Experimental proof of moisture clog through neutron tomography in a porous medium under truly one-directional drying
M. H. Moreiraa, S. Dal Pont, A. Tengattinib +2
Structural failure of concrete buildings on fire and complete destruction of the monolithic refractory lining during their drying stage are dangerous examples of the effect of expl…
Drying behavior of dense refractory castables. Part 2 Drying agents and design of heating schedules
A. P. Luz, M. H. Moreira, R. Salomao +2
Drying is the most critical process of the first heating cycle of monolithic dense refractories, as the reduced permeability of the resulting microstructure may lead to explosive s…
Drying behavior of dense refractory ceramic castables. Part 1 General aspects and experimental techniques used to assess water removal
A. P. Luz, M. H. Moreira, M. A. L. Braulio +2
Despite the continuous evolution on the performance of refractory ceramic products, monolithic materials still require special attention during their processing steps as various ph…
Carbon ablators with porosity designed for enhanced aerospace thermal protection
Erik Poloni, Florian Bouville, Alexander L. Schmid +8
Porous carbon ablators offer cost-effective thermal protection for aerospace vehicles during re-entry into planetary atmospheres. However, the exploration of more distant planets r…
Towards a single-phase mixed formulation of refractory castables and structural concrete at high temperatures
M. H. Moreira, R. F. Ausas, S. Dal Pont +3
Structural materials are broadly used in applications such as nuclear vessels, high-temperature processes, and civil construction. Usually, during their placing and lifespan, they…
Crack-free caustic magnesia-bonded refractory castables
V. C. Miguel, D. S. Fini, V. S. Pinto +3
A growing interest in designing high-alumina MgO-bonded refractory castables has been identified in recent years due to the magnesia ability to react: (i) with water at the initial…
