Preparation of low temperature sintered porous and densecomposites, using Steel Slag

In order to obtain the bulk brick likesamples, the mixture of steel slag, andsintering aid additive (like dolomite, glass,perlite, borax and phosphate sodium) weresintered at 1100°C for 2 minutes. The bulkdensities of final sintered composites werein the range of 1.3 to 2.41 g/cm3 and totalporosities were from 15 to 40%. Thebending strengths varied in 5.5 to 15.9 MPa.
