Adhesion is one of the key properties of unshaped refractories, such as repair, shotcrete, mortar mixtures and others. Several standard methods for measuring the adhesive properties are available in the field of polymer materials, while their number is almost zero in the case of refractory materials. The aim of the work is to develop a methodology for the adhesion measurement of fresh refractory mixtures during their setting based on a standard test used to evaluate the adhesion of paints, grouts, mortars, and concrete with a substrate. The principle of the method consists in cyclically tearing off the measuring probe from the tested mixture and recording the applied force. The results are compared with other methods used to evaluate the setting progress, such as the rotary viscometer and the Vicat needle. The applicability of the method is verified for the dependence of the adhesion on the temperature of the refractory mixture. |
