The purpose of this study was to investigate the bloating mechanism of artificial lightweight aggregates with different sizes (ESA, effective surface area). Aggregates were produced using hard clay, stone sludge, and a bloating agent in order to observe the effect of the gradation of the artificial lightweight aggregates. Kerosene and amorphous carbon were used as bloating agent. The particle size of the produced aggregate ranged from 3 mm to 9 mm. With regard to the amount of bloating agent to be used, 2 ~ 6 parts by weight were used. The specific gravity, absorption rate, and the type of aggregates produced by rapid sintering at $1075{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ were determined. Microstructures were observed. When ESA had a value of 1 or below, kerosene, which has a high burning rate, was found to be advantageous for use as a bloating agent. When ESA had a value of 1 or above, carbon, which has a relatively low burning rate was found to be an advantageous bloating agent. It is thought that kerosene is more advantageous, as ESA decreases, for the production of aggregates having low water absorption rate.

점토와 석분오니로 비중이 1 이하인 인공경량골재를 제조할 때 발포제와 융제의 종류 및 소성온도가 미세구조, 부피 비중 흐리고 흡수율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 한 종류의 기포 발포제를 첨가한 경우 부피 비중 $0.5{\sim}1.0$, 흡수율 $41{\sim}110%$ 범위의 다공성 인공경량골재 제조가 가능하였으나 골재 외형이 거칠고 미세구조가 불균일하였다. 융제 된 발포제가 각각 한 종류씩만 첨가된 골재는 소성 중 시편이 폭발하여 표피층(shell)의 일부가 소실되었다. 발포제로서 진공오일외에 ${Fe_2}{O_3}$와 탄소를 복합 첨가할 경우 black core와 shell 구조가 잘 형성되어 균일한 미세구조론 나타내었다. 융제된 발포제가 복합적으로 첨가된 $1200^{\circ}C$ 소성체의 경우, 점토 및 석분오니로만 제조된 시편에 비해 부피비중이 67% 줄고 흡수율은 48배 증가하여 우수한 발포특성을 좌였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 복합 첨가 계열 시편은 부피비중 $0.5{\sim}1.0$, 흡수율 $50{\sim}125%$의 다양한 물성을 나타냈으며, 따라서 각종 분야에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This paper is concerned chiefly with the method of porous foam manufacture using basalt stone powder sludge. The hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$) of bloating agent has lots of problems to manufacture porous lightweight aggregate due to fast reaction rate with cement or calcium hydroxide($Ca(OH)_2$). The $H_2O_2$ injecting method using nozzle for manufacturing porous lightweight aggregate is proposed, in this study. This method is to inject $H_2O_2$ at the pressure of 10 MPa on upper side of slurry mixing materials such as stone powder sludge and quick-lime(CaO) by injector. The specimen was dried in furnace at $100^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour and cured at ambient temperature for 30 days. We analyzed the characteristics including specific gravity and water absorption. The experiments were found that the porous foam has low specific gravity, high water absorption and uniform distribution of porous more than manufactured foam by general bloating methods.

A microstructure analysis is carried out to optimize the process parameters of a randomly oriented discrete length hybrid carbon fiber reinforced carbon matrix composite. The composite is fabricated by moulding of a slurry into a preform, followed by hot-pressing and carbonization. Heating rates of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1, and $3.3^{\circ}C/min$ and pressures of 5, 10, 15, and 20 MPa are applied during hot-pressing. Matrix precursor to reinforcement weight ratios of 70:30, 50:50, and 30:70 are also considered. A microstructure analysis of the carbon/carbon compacts is performed for each variant. Higher heating rates give bloated compacts whereas low heating rates give bloating-free, fine microstructure compacts. The compacts fabricated at higher pressure have displayed side oozing of molten pitch and discrete length carbon fibers. The microstructure of the compacts fabricated at low pressure shows a lack of densification. The compacts with low matrix precursor to reinforcement weight ratios have insufficient bonding agent to bind the reinforcement whereas the higher matrix precursor to reinforcement weight ratio results in a plaster-like structure. Based on the microstructure analysis, a heating rate of $0.2^{\circ}C/min$, pressure of 15 MPa, and a matrix precursor to reinforcement ratio of 50:50 are found to be optimum w.r.t attaining bloating-free densification and processing time.
