Low-cycle fatigue is the ability of a material or structure to resist cyclic loads in range 0–105 cycles. are sometimes referred as repeated. Little work has been devoted low-cycle polymer composite materials (PCM). Studies were carried out by A.I. Chebanenko, B.A. Bondarev, Bondareva A.B. Besides them, works Chernousov R.N., Nemtsev V.A., Biryukov K.S. known. Much more publications and researc...

low water-wettability and oxidation resistance of graphite have limited its application in carbon containing refractory castables. the aims of this study were improvement of water-wettability and the oxidation resistance of natural flaky graphite by applying an oxide coating on its surface. to develop the coating, magnesium aluminate spinel sol was formulated via a citrate-nitrate route and gra...
