โฆ Synopsis
The crystallization of melts prepared in the laboratory but similar in composition to those developed during the firing of Portland cement clinkers has been studied by static and dynamic techniques. These liquids typically contain ~ 6% Si02 and ~ 22% A~203 by weight. They have sufficient glass-forming tendencies to permit quenching ea I0 g batches to glass but with slower cooling, partial or complete crystallization occurs at undercoolings up to ~ 600ยฐC.
Lowtemperature crystallization occurs in stages: the first recognizable crystalline product of undercooled melts and glasses containing 1 -3% Na20 is proto-C3A.
The latter appears to occur in both cubic and orthorhombic modifications.
