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…
Novel drying additives and their evaluation for self-flowing refractory castables
B. P. Bezerra, A. P. Luz, V. C. Pandolfelli
The drying step of dense refractory castables containing hydraulic binders is a critical process, which usually requires using slow heating rates due to the high explosion trend of…
Aluminum lactate role in improving hydration and drying behavior of MgO-bonded refractory castables
D. S. Fini, V. C. Miguel, V. S. Pinto +3
Developing MgO-bonded castables is still an important subject for refractory producers and end-users based on the expansive character of the in-situ Mg(OH)2 formation. Considering…
Fast drying of high-alumina MgO-bonded refractory castables
V. S. Pinto, D. S. Fini, V. C. Miguel +4
Refractory producers face many challenges in terms of producing MgO-containing castables due to the high likelihood of magnesia to hydrate in contact with water, resulting in Mg(OH…
