New Mg-3Zn-2Ca magnesium alloy was prepared using different processing techniques: gravity casting as well as squeeze casting in liquid and semisolid states. Materials were further thermally treated; thermal treatment of ...

The use of high strength steels (HSS) allows designing lighter, slenderer and simpler structures with high structural performance. In general, the use of HSS leads to weight reduction of the whole structure, which compensates ...

The properties of alkaline activated brick dust mixed with different amounts of water glass with a silicate modulus (M) of 1.0 were studied in connection with the temperature of curing. The influence of the amount of ...

Significant drying shrinkage is one of the main limitations for the wider utilization of alkali-activated slag (AAS). Few previous works revealed that it is possible to reduce AAS drying shrinkage by the use of shrinkage-reducing ...

Geopolymers are generally appreciated for their good resistance against high temperatures. This paper compares the influence of thermal treatment with temperatures ranging from 200–1200 °C on the mechanical properties and ...

The properties of alkaline activated brick dust mixed with water glass with a silicate modulus (Ms) of 1.0 were studied in fresh mixtures as well as hardened products in connection with the particle size of the dust. The ...

The research presented in this article was focused on proving the effect of wood chips parameters on the hardening process of silicate matrix in cement-bonded particleboard. Namely content of humidity in the chips (in range ...

This research deals with the possibility of using hazardous waste in epoxy resinbased polymeric substances. More specifically, it is the use of neutralising galvanic sludge (NGS), which produces as a by-product in the ...
