New requirement and application of our high temperature resistant UHPC HT binder.

Following our article on the possible use of our high temperature resistant UHPC HT binder as a
construction material to make blocks that stop molten lava, our ManufactureStudio received an enquiry
from a client who described an object that we were to make from UHPC HT with a cracked surface and then have the cracks filled with precious metal.
Similar to the Japanese method Kintsugi, except that in this case the item does not need to be damaged and repaired.

It is a novel application from our Manufacture Studio. 

For this reason, we have made plates with a similar crack design from UHPC HT for testing purposes. A precious metal smelter friend of ours will be pouring liquid aluminium (melting point 660°C/733°F),
liquid silver (melting point 960°C/1234°F), liquid gold (melting point 1064°C/1337°F) and liquid copper (melting point 1084°C/1257°F) into the cracks in these panels over the next few weeks. Among other things, the test should give us information about the adhesion metal-UHPC. We also want to know how high the degree of filling is, even with very fine cracks.
