Stainless Steel Fibre
Stainless steel fibre for Refractory Low cement castable
As we understand Stainless Steel Fibres are extensively used in industrial manufacturing and especially in Refractory Low cement castable. Stainless Steel Fibres are an efficient way to enhance castable resistance to spalling upon drying. In addition, the Stainless Steel Fibres can reinforce the mechanical properties to produce tough cementitious composites for applications such as tunnels, pavements, monolithic and pre shaped refractories, and advanced ceramics. The studies reveal that addition of Crimped Stainless Steel Fibre and Loose hooked end Stainless Steel Fibre exhibit good properties in high temperature without failure. The percentage of increased thermal activity also makes the Stainless Steel Fibre a suitable material for Refractory low cement castable. Besides, Stainless Steel Fibres are having superior high-temperature performance and better dispersion giving easier handling and greatly extending the refractories life.
Stainless Steel Fibre in Shotcrete
Another major application of Stainless Steel Fibre is in Shotcrete. The most remarkable influence of the incorporation of Stainless Steel Fibre in concrete decreases and controls tensile cracking of the composite material. This also changes the mechanical properties of the concrete. As we know that plain unreinforced shotcrete, like unreinforced concrete, is a brittle material with little capacity to resist pronounced tensile stresses or strains without cracking and disruption. When Stainless Steel fibers are incorporated in shotcrete it improves the ductility, energy absorption, fatigue, and impact resistance. Stainless Steel fibers perform this role in shotcrete by controlling cracking and holding the material together, even after extensive cracking has occurred. Similarly, the addition of Stainless Steel Fibre also increases the compressive strength characterizing the more ductile material which helps in preventing sudden and explosive failure under static loading and in absorbing energy under dynamic loading. Apart from this, another primary reason to add Stainless Steel Fibre into Shotcrete increases the flexural strength and toughness of the shotcrete.
Stainless Steel Fibre for Industrial Flooring
As mentioned earlier, Stainless Steel Fibre adds many properties to cement, thus it is also widely used in industrial flooring. Generally, the main problem found in industrial flooring is shrinkage and crack, due to the joints and unevenness of the floor. And an integrated method is needed to solve the problem. Furthermore, it is needed to select proper materials, proper design, and proper production. And adding the Stainless Steel Fibre will provide the necessary reinforcement and also enhances the structural behaviour. The Stainless Steel Fibre also provides much-needed strength and structural advancement to the industrial slabs on the ground. Apart from this, Stainless Steel Fibre can exert shear resistance in slabs.
Stainless Steel Fibre for Tunnel linings
As discussed earlier, Stainless Steel Fibre extensively used to strengthen the application of steel fibres to reinforce concrete is becoming more and more interesting due to many advantages regarding the durability and sustainability of the construction. Especially the use of Stainless Steel Fibre in tunnel linings shows the capabilities of this construction material. The addition of Stainless Steel Fibre in concrete segments for tunnel linings has got innumerable advantages. It makes the production process simple and the formation of the cracks during handling and installation is distinctly reduced. Due to the high resistance against corrosion and cracking stresses as well as their great impact toughness, the segments are more durable. They also offer long service life and their repair and maintenance demands are also nominal and the production cost is also significantly lower.
Stainless steel fibre-reinforced composites
In many different sectors, more and more structural parts are being replaced with lightweight composite materials. For instance, carbon fibre-based bicycles, airplanes, or glass fibre based boat hulls. Stainless steel fibers can be used to create a composite material that is very impact-resistant and has supreme electrical conductivity properties. Possible applications include safer composite bicycles, impact-resistant leading edges in airplanes, or composites with supreme electrical charge dissipation properties.
Heat - resistant materials for diverse applications
Stainless steel fibers can be used in heat-resistant materials for many different applications, notably in the automotive, machine building, and equipment industries. They are the ideal alternative to fiberglass in terms of heat resistance and dampening properties, and as they are soft and flexible they are easy to shape, bend, weld, or mold into diverse components. Stainless steel heat-resistant materials exhibit interesting mechanical properties such as high tolerance to corrosion, even when exposed to high temperatures. They are non-flammable, chemically inert to other materials, and feature excellent dampening properties. This results in long-lasting stability.
