Abstract

This study demonstrated that a slag, an industrial solid waste, can be used as a structural reinforcement. The mechanical properties(tensile strength and Elastic modulus) of slag reinforced composite(SRC) was investigated as functions of slag particle size (8~12 ${\mu}m$ and 12~16 ${\mu}m$) and volume fraction (0-40 vol.%). In order to investigate the interface and a degree of particle dispersion which have an effect on mechanical properties, optical microscopic images were taken. The results of tensile tests showed that the tensile strength decreased with an increase in slag volume fraction and particle size. The elastic modulus increased with an increase in slag volume fraction and particle size except for 30 vol.% SRC. The tensile strength decreased with an increase in slag particle size. The microscopic picture showed SRC has fine degree of particle dispersion at low slag volume fraction. SRC has a good interface at every volume fraction. However particle cluster was incorporated with an increase in slag volume fraction.

본 연구에서는 제강 과정의 부산물로 발생하는 슬래그의 구조용 충전제로써의 사용 가능성을 검토하였다. 고분자 기지 슬래그 복합재료를 제작하여 슬래그 입자의 크기(8~12 ${\mu}m$ and 12~16 ${\mu}m$), 체적 비(0-30 vol.%)에 따른 슬래그 복합재료의 기계적 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 복합재료 물성에 영향을 주는 요인인 입자 분산 도와 계면상태를 고찰하기 위해 각각 시편에 대하여 조직사진을 촬영하였다. 인장 시험 결과 슬래그 복합재료의 재료강성은 슬래그 체적비가 증가할수록 증가하였고 인장 강도는 체적비가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 슬래그 복합재료의 재료강성은 슬래그 입자의 크기의 변화에 따른 뚜렷한 경향성을 띄지 않았고 인장강도는 입자의 크기가 작을수록 높은 값을 가졌다. 조직 사진 촬영 결과 슬래그 복합재료가 양호한 계면상태를 보였고, 낮은 체적 비에서는 좋은 분산 도를 나타냈지만 체적비가 높아지면 입자들의 뭉침 현상이 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
