Effect of Laser Deoxidation on Adhesive‐Bonded Aluminum in an Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates laser ablation of aluminum under oxygen‐free conditions. The goal is to produce oxide‐free substrates that enable improved adhesive bonding with epoxy. Optimized laser parameters (90% overlap, 300 µJ) combined with oxide‐free substrates result in the highest tensile strength of the adhesive bond.

Four‐Point Bending Tests at High Temperatures on Commercial MgO‐C Refractory Bricks with and Without Recyclate Considering Different Carbon Contents

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Four‐point bending tests are conducted in an argon atmosphere on commercial MgO‐C brick grades with and without MgO‐C recyclate from room temperature up to 1300 °C. No detrimental effect of the MgO‐C recyclates on bending strength is found. Instead, a decisive influence of the total carbon content is observed, with lower total carbon contents ...

Moisture damage in asphalt mixtures: A review of the causes, testing, and mitigating methods

open access: yesAdvances in Civil and Architectural Engineering
The early 1900s saw the commencement of the production and utilization of asphalt mixtures for road paving. Asphalt pavements carry heavy repetitive traffic loads under extreme environmental conditions over their service life.

Evaluation of hot mix asphalt(HMA) properties compacted at various temperatures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixture compacted at various temperature has always been a concern to researcher. Compaction below the standard compaction temperature may bring reverse effect on HMA properties.

Investigation of Thermo‐Chemical Processes in Commercial MgO‐C Refractory Bricks With and Without MgO‐C Recyclate at Elevated Temperatures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates thermo‐chemical processes during high‐temperature testing of two commercial MgO‐C brick grades, one containing 47.5 wt.% MgO‐C recyclate. Using ETV, DTA/TG‐MS, XRD, and SEM/EDS/EBSD, mechanisms such as carbothermal reduction of magnesia, impurity incorporation into the secondary MgO surface layer, and calcium‐rich phase ...

Effect of asphalt modified with waste engine oil on the durability properties of hot asphalt mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement

open access: yesOpen Engineering
The increased demand for asphalt and other materials involved in the construction of pavement led to an increase in the cost of these materials, which calls for searching for alternatives to virgin materials that can be used to produce asphalt mixtures ...

Damage maps: moisture problems

open access: yes, 2023
DEFINITION The survey of humidity, including that deriving from phenomena of rising by capillarity, is generally carried out with the direct method, following the perimeter of the infiltration and leaching zones. Special equipment is available on the market which, supported by the walls, allows us to determine their degree of humidity.
