Magnesium is one of the lightest structural metals used in different industrial sectors and many works in the literature have studied its reinforcement by filler addition. Basalt fibers are natural fillers that have good mechanical properties, excellent resistance to high temperatures, and lower cost than carbon fibers. Considering this, in recent years, they have been increasingly used in the production of composite materials with polymeric matrices. However, very little information is available in the literature about the use of basalt fibers as reinforcement in metal matrix composite materials. It is well known that the impregnation of fiber reinforcement affects the mechanical behavior of the composite materials. The aim of this study was to investigate the impregnation and the behavior of basalt fibers in a magnesium alloy composite material manufactured by a centrifugal casting technique.

Dynamic Tensile Response of Basalt Fibre Grids for Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM) Strengthening Systems.
Polymers (Basel)
January 2025
Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (INEGI), FEUP Campus, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias 400, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal.
The present work constitutes the initial experimental effort to characterise the dynamic tensile performance of basalt fibre grids employed in TRM systems. The tensile behaviour of a bi-directional basalt fibre grid was explored using a high-speed servo-hydraulic testing machine with specialised grips. Deformation and failure modes were captured using a high-speed camera.

The incorporation of desert sand-mineral admixture improves the abrasion resistance of concrete. To prolong the service life of assembled concrete channels and mitigate the depletion of river sand resources, the effects of fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF), desert sand (DS), and basalt fiber (BF) on the mechanical properties and the abrasion resistance of concrete were examined, alongside an analysis of their microstructures to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of influence. The results indicated that the abrasion resistance strength of concrete mixed with 10% FA and 0.

Department of Geological Engineering, Firat University, Elazığ 23119, Türkiye.
Background: In this study, the unconfined compressive strength (q) of a mixture consisting of clay reinforced with 24 mm-long basalt fiber was estimated using extreme learning machine (ELM). The aim of this study is to estimate the results closest to the data obtained through experimental studies without the need for experimental studies. The literature review reveals that the ELM technique has not been applied to predict the compressive strength of basalt fiber-reinforced clay, and this study aims to provide a novel contribution in this area.

Materials (Basel)
January 2025
Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Lodz University of Technology, 1/15 Stefanowskiego Street, 90-537 Lodz, Poland.
The article presents research on the evaluation of the use of two four-layer textile composites with ZrO/Al coatings of different thicknesses (deposited by magnetron sputtering PVD) with potential use in thermally insulating protective gloves designed for steelworkers, welders, or miners. The structure of the composites was analyzed using high-resolution X-ray micro-CT. The assessment of the safety of the glove user was conducted using methods in which the composites were exposed to contact heat, radiant heat, and flame heat.

With the increase in coal mining depths, soft and fractured roadway surrounding rocks require grouting and a sprayed protective layer for maintenance. Simultaneously, extensive accumulation of coal gangue causes diverse environmental issues. To enhance on-site coal gangue utilization, this study replaced river sand and cement with coal gangue to develop a novel cement-based mortar for supporting coal mine roadways.
