Abstract
The ceramic fibers VK-60, ABK, and VK-80 produced by steam blowing and nozzle dissemination methods have been investigated for the effect of nonfibrous material content, pressure, and temperature on the thermal conductivity at ambient and higher temperatures. It was noticed that with an increase in the aluminum content of the ceramic fibers the thermal conductivity of the material decreased while the insulation properties improved. The VK-80 fibers have the lowest and the VK-60 fibers the highest value of thermal conductivity at ambient temperature. At ambient temperature, the value of thermal conductivity increased with an increase in pressure for all analyzed fibers. ABK fibers showed the least increase and VK-80 registered an increase of about 10% in the values of thermal conductivity for pressures ranging from 0.6 to 6.6 kN/2. However, beyond a pressure of 6.6 kN/m2, the thermal conductivity of all samples increased. To assess the insulation properties of investigated fibers, the thermal conductivity was measured at different temperatures up to 800 °C. From the obtained results, it was concluded that all three types of fibers have a good potential for future applications, showing good performance in the investigated temperature range.
