Study on microwave heating de-icing performance of steel slag asphalt mixture
Asphalt mixture specimens with steel slag content of 0,50%,75%,100%was prepared,and microwave heating tests was carried out on the asphalt mixture to study its microwave heating performance.Based on COMSOL simulation,the ice melting performance of microwave heated asphalt mixture was studied.The results show that when the heating rate of asphalt mixture with different steel slag content increases within 30%~50%,the microwave heating uniformity of asphalt mixtures with 100%steel slag content is the best,and the ice melting efficiency of asphalt mixtures with 50%steel slag content was 1.44 times that of those without steel slag content.The incorporation of steel slag improves the heating rate,final temperature,uniformity and ice melting performance of microwave heating asphalt mixture.
