Abstract
THE extent of substitution of ferric iron for aluminium in tricalcium aluminate has been investigated using conventional high-temperature phase equilibrium techniques. Starting materials were mechanical mixtures of reagentgrade oxides. Raw mixtures were suspended for several hours in platinum-foil envelopes at the hot spot of a platinum-wound vertical-tube resistance furnace. Temperatures were read using a Pt-90Pt10Rh thermocouple frequently calibrated against melting points denned on the 1948 International Temperature Scale. Identification of phases in the quenched products was made by use of X-ray diffraction and of transmitted-light microscope.
