Corrosion-Resistant Glasses for Steel Enamels

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A cementitious composite material wherein glass-coated steel rods are positioned in a cementitious matrix. The glass composition for coating the steel reinforcing rods includes between about 33-45 weight percent SiO 2 , 13.5-19.5 weight percent B 2 O 3 , 3.5-4.6 weight percent Al 2 O 3 , 4.0-13.5 weight percent K 2 O, 5.5-15.5 weight percent ZrO 2 , 8.6-15.9 weight percent Na 2 O, 4.6-5.1 weight percent CaO, 0.6-0.7 weight percent MnO 2 , 1.0-1.0 weight percent NiO, and 1.0-1.1 weight percent CoO. The glass composition is typically in compression on the rods at ambient temperatures, has a coefficient of thermal expansion of between about 12.5 and about 13.5, and has a softening temperature of between about 585 degrees Celsius and about 600 degrees Celsius.
