1. Basalt short fiber - a new material to replace steel fiber. Basalt short fiber is an inorganic mineral fiber with a length of less than 50mm, which can be evenly dispersed in cement concrete. 2. Characteristics of basalt short fiber (1) the specific gravity of steel fiber is 7.8 and that of cement concrete is 2.5. After mixing, the specific gravity of steel fiber is higher than that of cement, and the cement will sink and have poor dispersion. The specific gravity of basalt short fiber is 2.6, which is basically equivalent to that of cement concrete. After mixing, it does not sink, has good dispersion, is degradable, and is green. The road surface will not be as hard as steel fiber, resulting in car driving noise.. (2) Basalt staple fiber is a real "multifunctional" fiber. Acid and alkali resistance (especially alkali resistance, fully applicable to cement concrete), low and high temperature resistance, insulation and sound insulation. The tensile strength is three times that of steel fiber. The corrosion resistance of basalt fiber is better than that of steel fiber. The compressive strength is 20% higher than that of steel fiber, which is suitable for harsh environment. It has excellent comprehensive performance. (3) Low cost. The price of basalt fiber used in cement concrete is significantly lower than that of 50% steel fiber. (4) Natural compatibility. Basalt fiber is a typical silicate fiber, which is easy to disperse when mixed with cement concrete and mortar. Fresh basalt fiber concrete has stable volume, good workability and durability, and has excellent high temperature resistance, impermeability, crack resistance and impact resistance.
