Study of the uniformity of mixing components of energy-saturated heterogeneous composite material

Abstract

Abstract The features of mixing the components of an energy-saturated heterogeneous composite material (EHCM) were considered. The conditions for the uniform distribution of the components of the solid phase over the entire volume of the composite material were estimated and the possibility of obtaining their most dense packing was analyzed. Appropriate proportions of the particle sizes of the fine and coarse fractions of the components of the solid phase were determined, as well as their proportion. The amount of liquid phase necessary to wet the surface of the particles of the solid phase, as well as to fill the voids between them, is determined. According to the results of the calculations, the criteria were chosen for evaluating the quality of mixing EHCM components. The calculation results are compared with observed data obtained experimentally. An appropriate technique was developed to evaluate experimental samples. The results of comparing the calculated and experimental data make it possible to build the correlation dependences of the technological characteristics of the mixing of EHCM components.
