Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effect of elevated temperatures on the physical, mechanical, and microstructural properties of a hooked-end steel fiber for temperatures of 100, 350, 750, and 1000 °C. Results show that an oxidation layer is formed on the surface of the fibers exposed to temperatures of 750 °C and above, which leads to an increase in external diameter and mass. Reductions in tensile strength are directly proportional to the temperature increase, while rupture strain values significantly increase for temperatures above the recrystallization temperature of steel. The present study contributes to the understanding of the contribution of steel fibers to the overall behavior of the composite after temperature exposure and serve as input for recently developed numerical models.Keywords
