Obtención de materiales vitrocerámicos a partir de desechos industriales para el revestimiento de tuberías

Abstract

In this work it was proposed to address the problem of industrial waste management by obtaining glass-ceramic materials for the internal coating of pipes, using the epoxy powdering technique since at the moment there is excessive heat transfer in the pipes. Initially, exhaustive research was carried out on the wastes that are suitable for obtaining glass-ceramic materials, these being glass, steel slag and electro plastic sludge. Information was found on the processes of obtaining materials by combining pure and natural raw materials, focusing on the application of glass-ceramic materials obtained from industrial wastes in mechanical engineering; in the development of the project, tests were carried out to characterize the material, using X-Ray spectrometry to analyze the composition of the mixture, hardness and flexural tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of the glass-ceramic material; these tests provided crucial information on the strength and deformation capacity of the material, essential aspects for its application in mechanical engineering. It is emphasized that the results obtained revealed the feasibility of using industrial wastes to produce glass-ceramic materials with favorable mechanical and chemical properties. Hardness and flexural tests supported the applicability of these materials in mechanical engineering, offering a significant contribution to the field of advanced materials. The study opens new perspectives for the implementation of these sustainable and efficient materials in various industries, highlighting their potential in pipe coating for various applications.
