Abstract

Nowadays many kinds of inorganic fibers are used in various industry fields. However, their superior mechanical and thermal properties are utilized in a limited way due to the environmental regulations that become tighter and stronger with time. This motivates to develop new environment-friendly inorganic material especially for the field, where the high performance material under a wide range of operation circumstances is required. This research reports on the a super-high temperature melt spinning method applicable for manufacturing mineral fibers. The spinning system is composed of a furnace, a crucible along with a refractory system, and a take-up device. Results show that the new crucible spinning system can be used for spinning mineral fibers effectively. The basalt rocks as a test raw material could be molten and transformed into fibers through the direct spin-drawing procedure. The form and size of the raw material affected the spinnability. The device playing the role as the forehearth bushing is very important to assure a !continuous process. The fiber diameter and the drawing speed could be described by a reciprocal relationship.
