The Effect of Temperature Conditions of Hardening on Properties of Water-Glass Composites
Presented are the results of research regarding the effect of temperature on kinetics of durability of composites based on sodium water-glass, and also relation between water absorption, open porosity and temperature of metal working. It was established that higher temperatures at early hardening phases have negative effect on technological characteristics of composites. Proposed was a two-stage hardening mode that allowed increasing the hardening speed of such materials and demonstrating the durability characteristics similar to samples hardened under natural conditions
