Thermography Applied to the Adhesion Phenomenon of Mortars with Additions of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) Slag

In this work, the effects of the mixing water loss capacity of hydrated lime mortars with different dosages were analysed—type O (mix 1:2:9), type N (mix 1:1:6), and type M (mix 1:0.5:4.5), with additions of submerged arc welding (SAW) slag. Infrared thermography tests and optical and scanning elect...

Zusammenfassung:In this work, the effects of the mixing water loss capacity of hydrated lime mortars with different dosages were analysed—type O (mix 1:2:9), type N (mix 1:1:6), and type M (mix 1:0.5:4.5), with additions of submerged arc welding (SAW) slag. Infrared thermography tests and optical and scanning electronic microscopy analyses of the mortars were also carried out. The experimental results showed that the mortar samples with additions of SAW slag type M, using low-cost materials, proved to be in economic and technical terms (adhesion strength) the best solution, even more so if a spatter dash layer is used, a fact that increases the adhesion strength even more. Also, the infrared thermographic results revealed that the ability of the mortar paste to yield water to the ceramic substrate in the interface regions is a relevant factor in the adhesion of these coatings. Finally, the analyses by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy revealed that the ability to release water to the substrate is related to the hydration of the mortar and its anchoring capacity. Furthermore, the analyses carried out demonstrated that the adhesion of the mortars is influenced and increased with the application of a layer of splashes, as the pores of the substrate become more refined and better filled with the applied mortar.
