This paper evaluates the chemical resistance of mortar according to mixing ratios by using ferronickel slag fine powder which is an industrial by - product and various admixtures. The test results showed that the chlorine ion penetration resistance was the best when the ferronickel slag fine powder and gypsum were used as the admixture. The chemical erosion resistance was highest when ferronickel slag, quicklime, gypsum and calcium chloride were combined.

The amount of ferro-nickel slag powder produced by the Fe-Ni industry has grown in conjunction with the increase in demand for stainless steel materials. In this study, we investigated the effects of ferro-nickel slag powder on the flow, strength, and microstructure of polymer mortar. Ferro-nickel slag powder was used to replace CaCO3 at ratios of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by volume. The flow and the compressive and flexural strength of the polymer mortar were measured, and both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and hot resistance testing were performed. The test results indicate that the flow of the polymer mortar with more than 25% CaCO3 replacement decreased as the ferro-nickel slag powder content increased. The compressive strength of the polymer mortar mixes with ferro-nickel slag powder was relatively higher than that of the control mix. From the results of the hot resistance test, the strength improved compared with that before the test and increased as the powder replacement ratio was increased.
