What is the role of stone in concrete


Sand and gravel are one of the main components of concrete. Sand and gravel play the role of filling and reinforcement in concrete, and play a vital role in the performance and strength of concrete.

Sand and gravel act as a filler in concrete. Concrete is made by mixing cement, sand, stones and water in certain proportions. Sand and gravel have a filling effect between particles, filling the gaps in the cement gel, making the concrete more dense and compact. This filling action helps reduce shrinkage and cracking of the concrete and increases its durability.

Sand and gravel enhance the strength and stability of concrete. The particles of sand and gravel form a mechanical connection with the cement gel, which increases the cohesion and compressive strength of the concrete. Sand and gravel can also improve the shear strength and impact resistance of concrete, and increase the stability of concrete. In addition, sand and gravel can also disperse the stress between cement particles and improve the crack resistance of concrete.

The classifications of quartz sand

  1. Ordinary quartz sand: The surface of ordinary quartz sand seems to have a layer of yellow skin, and some have large particles and strong fire resistance. It is a kind of quartz sand processed by the manufacturer after using natural quartz ore in the production process, such as washing and drying. No impurities can be seen in the quartz sand through the second water treatment filtration. It is the best choice for chemical water treatment. It can block the sundries suspended in the water and maintain the quality and beauty of the water. 2. Refined quartz sand: Refined quartz sand is a mineral made by the manufacturer after carefully selected quartz stone. According to different requirements of users, the range used is also different. But generally the main use of refined quartz sand is in glass products, because refined quartz sand is refractory and precision casting, especially suitable for fireproof glass materials.

Chromite purification processing method

At present, chromium ores with industrial value are generally chromium-magnesia spinel or chromium-iron spinel minerals, which contain a large amount of chromium oxide, with a content of about 18% to 62%, and generally also contain metals such as aluminum and nickel. Its characteristics make the chromium ore beneficiation process present a rich and diverse state. Due to the properties of chromium, chromium ore beneficiation processes include gravity separation, magnetic separation, flotation, combined beneficiation, chemical beneficiation, etc. Commonly used in industry are single gravity separation, single magnetic separation, and gravity-magnetic combined beneficiation processes. In terms of equipment selection, shakers and jigs are mostly used in the gravity separation stage, while the equipment selection in the magnetic separation stage is determined based on the magnetism of the ore.

Sandblasting nozzle classification and use

Using high-pressure air as a power source to drive abrasive particles to hit objects within a certain range will produce a great impact. The function of the sandblasting nozzle is to spray abrasive particles on the object evenly and efficiently. Sandblasting nozzles can be divided into: straight hole sandblasting nozzle, Venturi sandblasting nozzle , double Venturi sandblasting nozzle, angle sandblasting nozzle Straight hole nozzle: There are only contraction section and straight section inside, the structure is simple and easy to manufacture. This kind of nozzle cannot overcome the vortex phenomenon existing at the inlet end, and the pressure loss is large; the abrasive velocity at the outlet is less than 100m/s under the pressure of 0.7MPa.
