Examining the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of an Epoxy Composite that Contains Blast Furnace Slag

Slag from blast furnaces is a significant industrial waste produced in large amounts when iron is extracted from its ores. One of the main environmental remediation techniques used today to manage threats to human health and the environment is the elimination, reduction, or recycling of garbage. The purpose of this paper is to examine the thermal and physical properties of epoxy composites that are loaded with blast furnace slag, an industrial waste. In addition to being utilised in metal matrix applications, concrete mixtures, and soil stabilisation, ongoing research is being conducted to find additional uses for it. In keeping with the theme of coherence, the purpose of this research is to investigate the potential of BF slag in the production of composites that may enhance specific mechanical properties and serve as an affordable alternative to other composites. It has been discovered that the composite produced by this process has better thermal conductivity.
