Stratlingite is one of the constituent minerals of the bonding matrix of low-cement castables. In this study, the crystallization processes of stratlingite in hydrates of high alumina cement at 60°C and 10°C were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The stratlingite has crystallized in large quantities in the samples cured at 60°C, while in the samples cured at 10°C, stratlingite was not detected beyond the period of fifteen months.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
