Evolution of Approaches to Design of Autoclave Hardening Materials

The main stages of the development of technology of autoclaved materials are given. Features of transformation of approaches to design of materials of autoclave hardening with due regard for problems of production, geo-economic conditions, parameters of technology and other factors are shown. The necessity of transition from classical technology, which is based on the use of traditional natural components, to utilization and modification approaches, providing improving technical and economic indices of the materials of autoclave hardening in terms of reduction of material and energy costs when obtaining products of specified quality is substantiated. Modern methodological bases for increasing the efficiency of autoclave hardening materials, when using natural and anthropogenic raw materials of various genotypes, are presented. It is shown that the basis of the modern concept of control over the processes of structure formation of materials of autoclave hardening as a guarantor of obtaining materials with an optimal combination of quality indicators is the most complete use of the possibilities of raw materials without significant complication of the production process.
