A multi-component inorganic capsule anchoring system can be used for chemically fastening anchors, bolts, screw anchors, screw bolts, and post-installed reinforcing bars in mineral substrates. The multi-component inorganic capsule anchoring system contains a curable powdery ground-granulated blast-furnace slag-based component A, and an initiator component B in aqueous-phase for initiating a curing process. The powdery ground-granulated blast-furnace slag-based component A contains further silica dust. The component B contains an alkali-silicate component and optionally a plasticizer.

Composites made of a cross-linked acrylic polymer and an inorganic aggregate and/or mineral, with the cross-linked acrylic polymer being present at a concentration of 5% to 17%, by weight, are disclosed. Processes of preparing the composites are also disclosed.

Hexavalent chromium-free slurry formulations which are suitable in the production of ceramic overlay coating systems are described. The formulations provide superior hot corrosion and heat oxidation protection for superalloy substrates. A basecoat slurry and topcoat slurry are provided. The basecoat slurry includes an aluminum phosphate based aqueous solution having a molar ratio of Al:PO.sub.4 higher than about 1:3 with the incorporation of metal oxide particles. The topcoat slurry includes an aluminum phosphate based aqueous solution having a molar ratio of Al:PO.sub.4 higher than about 1:3. Both of the basecoat slurry and the topcoat slurry are hexavalent chromium-free.

A method for repairing damage on a non-friction surface of a carbon brake disc of an aircraft, includes: removal of a damaged region, cutting of a repair material, anti-oxidation modification of the repair material, bonding and curing, and high-temperature heat treatment. The anti-oxidation modification is performed on the repair material without affecting the mechanical properties of the repair material, which improves the anti-oxidation ability of the repair zone and avoids the preparation of an anti-oxidation coating. In this way, only the damage on the non-friction surface is repaired, and there is little effect on the mechanical properties, friction and wear properties and thermal conductivity of the carbon-carbon composite material.

Disclosed are: damage-resistant ECMCs that need to work and remain elastic between minus 120° C. and positive 300° C.; ECMCs that need to be able to contain a flame of 1900° C. for more than 90 minutes; and composite structures, especially highly stressed structures. One of the characteristic problems of ceramic matrices is their fragility. Indeed, when a fracture starts, it propagates easily in the matrix. Disclosed are elastic ceramic matrix composites (ECMCs), for which: the ceramic matrix is split into solid “ceramic microdomains” (CMDs); the CMDs are connected to one another by a dense network of “elastic microelements” (EMEs); and the bonds between the EMEs and the CMDs are strong chemical bonds, preferably covalent.

The curable composition exhibits high hermeticity, fast curing speed, quick adhesion build up, dry surface and strong adhesion strength. A method for applying the curable composition on the surface of a substrate is also provided.
