2. Calcium aluminate cements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_aluminate_cements

   So, CAC cement must not be confused with calcium sulfo-aluminate (CSA) cement containing calcium sulfate and invented later in 1936. [6] The main constituent, and also the most reactive phase, of calcium aluminate cements is the monocalcium aluminate (CaAl 2 O 4 = CaO · Al 2 O 3, also written as CA in the cement chemist notation).

3. AFt phases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFt_phases

   In the cement system, the presence of ettringite depends on the ratio of calcium sulfate to tri-calcium aluminate (C 3 A); when this ratio is low, ettringite forms during early hydration and then converts to the corresponding calcium aluminate monosulfate (AFm phase or (Al 2 O 3 − Fe 2 O 3 − mono)). When the ratio is intermediate, only a ...

4. AFm phases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFm_phases

   AFm form inter alia when tricalcium aluminate 3CaO·Al 2 O 3, or C 3 A in CCN, reacts with dissolved calcium sulfate (CaSO 4), or calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). As the sulfate form is the dominant one in AFm phases in the hardened cement paste (HCP) in concrete, AFm is often simply referred to as Aluminate Ferrite monosulfate or calcium aluminate ...

5. Calcium aluminates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_aluminates

   Calcium aluminates phase diagram Crystal structure of dodecacalcium hepta-aluminate, 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 (C 12 A 7). [1] Calcium aluminates are a range of materials [2] obtained by heating calcium oxide and aluminium oxide together at high temperatures. They are encountered in the manufacture of refractories and cements.

6. Portland cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_cement

   This type of cement costs about the same as type I. Its typical compound composition is: 51% (C 3 S), 24% (C 2 S), 6% (C 3 A), 11% (C 4 AF), 2.9% MgO, 2.5% (SO 3), 0.8% ignition loss, and 1.0% free CaO. A limitation on the composition is that the (C 3 A) shall not exceed 8%, which reduces its vulnerability to sulphates. This type is for general ...

   SCC can save up to 50% in labor costs due to 80% faster pouring and reduced wear ... Materials may include calcium aluminate cements, fire clay, ganister and minerals ...

8. Calcium aluminoferrite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_aluminoferrite

   Calcium aluminoferrite (Ca 2 (Al,Fe) 2 O 5) is a dark brown crystalline phase commonly found in cements. In the cement industry it is termed tetra-calcium aluminoferrite or ferrite. In cement chemist notation (CCN), it is abbreviated as C 4 AF meaning 4CaO· Al 2 O 3 · Fe 2 O 3 in the oxide notation. It also exists in nature as the rare ...

9. Cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement

   Calcium aluminate cements are hydraulic cements made primarily from limestone and bauxite. The active ingredients are monocalcium aluminate CaAl 2 O 4 (CaO · Al 2 O 3 or CA in cement chemist notation, CCN) and mayenite Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 (12 CaO · 7 Al 2 O 3, or C 12 A 7 in CCN). Strength forms by hydration to calcium aluminate hydrates.
