Abstract

This paper deals with synthesis and assessment of the hydraulicity of C4A3Cr, analog phase C4A3S to , relevant to the phase chemistry and properties of sulfoaluminate cements. C4A3Cr, synthesized at 1250 °C is well crystallized phase, latently hydraulic, with hydration accelerated in the presence of C4A3S, or CS. Calorimetric curves show reciprocal influence of sulfate and chromate phase in hydration of C4A3S-C4A3Cr system. The total heat expressed at hydration is nearly the same for all specimens, but the rate of heat evolution depends on the ratio of C4A3S/C4A3Cr phases. X-ray diffraction pattern and DTA curves showed that, increasing content of C4A3Cr in hydrating mixture results in a coexistence of two types of ettringite (chromate and sulfate ettringite) hydrogarnet, gibbsite and monosulfate.
