Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the research is to establish the relationship between the velocity of ultrasonic waves in Lesnik, Maslav granites, Bukinsky gabbro, and Kateryniv labradorite at temperatures up to 800 degrees. Methods: In this study, samples of natural stone from the following rocks were heated: Maslav granite, Lesnik granite, Kateryniv labradorite, and Bukinsky gabbro. The samples were made in the form of cubes with a side size of 15×15 cm. One side of the sample was polished and the other sides were sawn. Measurements of ultrasonic wave propagation were made on the polished side. The samples were heated to temperatures of 200, 400, 600, and 800 degrees Celsius. Three cubes were taken for each temperature. Before heating, the velocity of ultrasonic waves in the samples of natural stone was measured using a handle with two piezoelectric sensors with a base of 120 mm. The ultrasonic wave was measured using a UK-14PM device. The velocity of ultrasonic wave propagation in the stone samples after heating was also measured. The velocity of ultrasonic wave propagation was calculated from the time it takes the ultrasonic wave to pass between the sensors. Results: In this research, the authors consider the effect of high temperature on the velocity of ultrasonic waves in granites, gabbro, and labradorite. The article provides an overview of the main factors that affect the velocity of ultrasonic wave propagation in natural stone. The results of studies conducted to investigate the effect of high temperature on this velocity in strong rocks are considered. The relationship between the velocity of ultrasonic wave propagation in Lesnik, Maslav granites, Bukinsky gabbro, and Kateryniv labradorite at temperatures up to 800 degrees has been established. Lesnik granite has the least loss of ultrasonic wave velocity upon heating, while Maslav granite has the greatest loss. When comparing labradorite and gabbro, labradorite has the least loss of ultrasonic wave velocity upon heating. Scientific novelty: For the first time, the dependence of the velocity of ultrasonic wave propagation in Lesnik, Maslav granites, Bukinsky gabbro, and Kateryniv labradorite at temperatures up to 800 degrees from the heating temperature has been obtained. Practical significance: Based on the obtained values, it is possible to assess the strength of natural stone after fires using a non-destructive control method. Keywords: high temperature, ultrasonic wave, natural stone, rock-forming minerals, color.
