What is an autoclaved aerated concrete?
Autoclaved aerated concrete, or AAC, is an anti -winging structure that is made of different aggregated parts that are no larger than sand. At about one fifth of the weight of normal concrete, it is an incredibly light building material. It provides excellent thermal and acoustic resistance and also protects against such risks of households such as mold, thermit and fire. Autoclaved aerated concrete is commonly referred to as autoclaved cellular concrete, because during the production process they form hydrogen bubbles, resulting in a small pocket of air inside the concrete, which significantly increase the volume of the final concrete product. Concrete can be discarded into many different forms and can be used in construction for walls, floors, roofs and other purposes.
Although the precise composition of the autoclaved aerated concrete may vary, it generally consists of sand or other fine aggregate, cement and water or other binding components and aluminum power. Aluminum powder ReaGuides with cement and creates hydrogen bubbles to form a mixture, increasing the ratio of volume to the weight of the concrete mixture. After the mixture is discarded into the desired mold and there is chemical reactions with volume, a concrete mixture that is still soft, autoclaved.
In the autoclave chamber, the concrete mixture is exposed to high temperatures and high steam pressure. Under these conditions, quartz sand with cement reacts to form very strong solids. Carlations are therefore used to harden the powder mixture of sand-cement and aluminum into strong solid concrete. Autoclaved aerated concrete can be used as soon as it is solidified in the autoclave. The pockets created by hydrogen bubbles are filled with air after the hydrogen leaves the porous concrete. In some cases, up to 80 percent of the volume air may be finished.
Autoclaved aerate concrete, although it is excellent becauseIt provides excellent insulation and has other advantages, it is not without its disadvantages. For example, it is not as strong as less porous varieties of concrete, so it must often be strengthened if it is to be used for intensive work carrying a burden. Although it can be delivered almost anywhere with relative ease due to its low weight, the autoclaved aerated concrete is not widely produced, so for many it can be difficult to obtain locally. It must also be coated in a form of protective material because it tends to degrade over time due to its porous nature.
