Preparation of Porous and Dense Bulk Samples in Calcium Magnesium Silicate Systems using Steel Slag and Different Additive by Conventional Sintering Method

In order to obtain the bulk brick-like samples, the mixture of steel slag, and sintering aid additive (like dolomite, glass, perlite borax and phosphate sodium) were sintered at 1100°C for 2 minutes. The flatand bloated surface appearances were obtained. The bulk densities of final sintered composites rangedfrom 1.3 to 2.41 g/cm3 and total porosities were from 15 to 40%. The bending strengths varied from 5.5 to 15.9 MPa. The final phase as detected by XRD according was calcium magnesium silicate
