A NEW CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: SLAGGERAM A STUCTURAL CLAY PRODUCT WITH A SLAG BASE. VISIT TO THE BISRA LABORATORIES /IN FRENCH/

RESEARCH CARRIED OUT IN GREAT BRITAIN INTO THE USE OF BLAST-FURNACE SLAG IN THE MANUFACTURE OF VIBROCRYSTALLINE MATERIALS UTILIZED IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS REVIEWED. THE SLAGGERAM, FOR WHICH A PATENT HAS BEEN APPLIED IN FRANCE, IS OBTAINED BY FISION AT 1500 DEGREES C AND THEN THERMAL TREATMENT OF A MIXTURE COMPOSED OF ABOUT 100 KG SLAG, AND 30 KG SAND, AND 1 TO 10 KG OXIDES WHICH FACILITATES DENITRIFICATION. ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF FUSION, THE SLAGGERAM PRODUCED CAN BE COMPACT WITH A DENSITY OF 3.0 OR EXPANDED (DENSITY 1.0 TO 1.5). COMPACT SLAGGERAM CAN BE USED FOR SLABS, TILES, AND CHIPPINGS FOR HARD SURFACINGS. /LCPC/RRL/
