Abstract

The paper studies the influence that Al2O3, B2O3, SiO2 and CaO containing modifying components introduced in different combinations have on the technological and mechanical properties of basalt glass concerning their use in the production of continuous fibre. It is shown that introduction of boron-containing components into compositions with basalt accelerates achievement of structural homogeneity of the melt and reduces crystallization capacity of the glass. The viscosity and the upper crystallization temperature numbers that determine the technological parameters of fibre formation are determined. The elastic and strength properties of basalt glass were studied under static and cyclic loads. It is established that introduction of modifying aluminium-containing components ensures a 15–30% increase in the strength parameters. The optimal combination of technological and mechanical properties of basalt glass is achieved due to the use of compound modifiers with aluminium- and boron-containing components.
