Durability of basalt fibers and composites in corrosive environments
This study describes an experimental investigation of the degradation of the tensile properties of basalt fibers and epoxy-based composites in various corrosive environments, including alkaline, acid, salt and water solutions, and clarifies the corresponding degradation mechanisms. Carbon and glass fibers and their composites are adopted as references. Accelerated experiments were conducted at temperatures of 25 °C and 55 °C and the variation in tensile properties was studied by means of tension testing, mass loss weighing, scanning electron microscope imaging and energy spectrum analysis. The experimental results show that basalt fibers posses relatively strong resistance to water and salt corrosion, moderate resistance to acid corrosion and severe degradation in an alkaline solution. The tensile properties of basalt FRP composites are much better than those of basalt fibers. The degradation mechanism of basalt fibers involves damage by etching in salt, water and alkaline solutions and by change in the chemical composites in an acid solution. The fracture properties of basalt FRP composites are controlled by the failure of corroded interfaces between the fibers and the resin, making the interface the critical factor, rather than the fiber itself.
