Uses and characteristics of gabbro

Introduction to Gabbro

Gabbro is a basic deep-seated intrusive rock. It is formed by the intrusion of deep bottom crust or basalt magma, and after long-term crystallization, ascent and cooling, it is mainly composed of basic plagioclase and monoclinic pyroxene, and the content of the two substances is basically the same. At the same time, gabbro also contains olivine, biotite, amphibole, etc., and the accessory minerals contained are magnetite, apatite, ilmenite, etc. As an igneous rock mineral, gabbro contains silicate components and is a silicate mineral composed of sodium and calcium silicate minerals. It is also the focus of geologists and mineralogists.

What does gabbro look like

Gabbro is an igneous rock composed of feldspar and pyroxene as the main components. It is generally medium coarse-crystalline or mixed-crystalline and has the following characteristics:

Gabbro has a massive structure, homogeneous structure, dense texture, rich composition, and is mainly gray-black and dark green in color. It is also associated with minerals such as copper, iron, titanium, phosphorus, and nickel. Gabbro is not only a representative rock of the deep oceanic crust, but also distributed on the moon. The gabbro produced on the moon has the characteristics of alkali, poor silicon, titanium, rich calcium, etc., and contains natural metallic iron, meteoric sulfide and other cosmic minerals.

Uses of Gabbro

Due to its advantages of high hardness, high density, wear resistance, and environmental protection, it is widely used in the following fields:

Construction field: Due to its durability and high hardness, in construction projects, as a building material such as floor tiles, wall tiles, and foundation stones, it not only provides a stable foundation for the building, but also makes the building more beautiful.

Road construction: Due to its good wear resistance and strong compressive resistance, gabbro is widely used in road construction, mainly used for making pavements, paving roads, etc., which improves the service life and bearing capacity of the road.

Carving and decoration: Gabbro also has beautiful colors and unique textures, and can also be used for the carving of exquisite artworks and decorations, adding beauty and atmosphere to garden landscapes, interior decoration, sculptures and other fields.

Industrial use: Gabbro can be used as a grinding material for manufacturing grinding wheels, sandpaper, etc., and can also be used to make ceramics and refractory materials, etc., playing an important role in the industrial field.

Gabbro grinding production line equipment

1. Raymond mill is an energy-saving, environmentally friendly and efficient grinding equipment, which has a good effect on the processing of high-fine powder of gabbro.

2. Jaw crusher is an important crushing equipment for the first crushing of gabbro

3. Bucket elevator is a device that can be lifted to a certain height in the gabbro grinding process, and plays an important role in the grinding production line.

4. Vibrating feeder is a highly automated feeding equipment. In the gabbro grinding production line, the crushed gabbro can be transported to the main machine in a timely, quantitative and uniform manner.

In short, gabbro not only plays a very important role in road construction, industrial use and construction fields, but also is a beautiful, durable and high-strength decorative material, which adds a lot of beauty and atmosphere to human society. I believe that the application of gabbro will be more extensive in the future.
