The scale is a waste coming from the metal casting industry. It is an iron oxide layer formed as a result of oxidation after annealing on steel surfaces. Casting wastes, which have been left uncontrolled for many years, have caused considerable environmental damage. In the present paper, the mechanical properties and microstructural characterization of cement mortars, prepared by using scale coming from Turkey steel manufacturer were experimentally investigated. The steel scale was used as a partial replacement of cement. Recycling of solid waste scale is considered as an environmental-friendly alternative to solve the problem of disposing of wastes. Cement mortar admixtures were prepared by variable percentages of scale from 2% to 10%. How to cite this article: Mutuk T, Demirbaş AK, Çevik S, Mesci Oktay B. The effects of casting ındustry waste of scale ınstead of cement on the mechanical and microstructure properties.
