Abstract

Observations of changes in the amplitude and velocity of the ultrasonic wave transmitted through a hydrating high alumina cement were found to have no corresponding changes in X-ray phase analyses. A continuous X-ray scan of an hydrating sample showed no evidence for the completion of hydration. X-ray patterns from a sample aged for two months and from one aged for 24 hours were basically identical.
