2020-6-2 This chapter discusses cement and concrete characterization. It covers both microscopy of various kinds (scanning electron and optical) and x-ray diffraction analysis. Images of cement and concrete microstructure are important in their own right, for analysis and characterization.
Belite (dicalcium silicate, Ca 2 SiO 4) forms 15–45% of a clinker, and displays a rounded habit with crystal sizes ranging from 5 to 40 μm.Normally the β polymorph is found in clinkers, although smaller amounts of, α, α ′ H, and α ′ l polymorphs may occur with minor oxides comprising up to 5%. Light microscopy of lamellar structures on etched specimens and X-ray powder diffraction ...
CEMENT CLINKER CHARACTERIZATION BY SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. Scanning electron microscopy technology combines the advantages of the more widely used optical microscopy and X-ray fluorescence techniques with chemical and image analysis capabilities.
First cement is a binary system with 30% replacement of clinker by Fly Ash (Portland pozzolana cement, PPC) and the second cement is a ternary system with 50% clinker replacement by limestone and calcined clay (LC 3). The results of blended cements are compared with that of Ordinary Portland cement
2020-5-23 Cement microscopy has been around since LeChatelier first analyzed a portland cement clinker using a microscope in . Building materials The mineral stock of clinkers is often determined in last time by the calculation by the chemical analysis through that the thin pulps of clinkers under the microscope are counted.
5.1 This test method provides a relatively simple and reliable microscopical means of measuring the phase abundance of portland cement clinker (Note 1).Microscopical point counting provides a direct measure of the clinker phase composition in contrast to the calculated Bogue phase composition (Note 2).
Thin sections of Portland cement clinker have been prepared by ion-beam thinning and examined in the electron microscope. The three most abundant phases, alite, belite and tricalcium aluminate have been identified. Features of interest include unexplained reflections in the diffraction patterns from alite and internally twinned or faulted martensite plates in belite.
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is becoming increasingly recognized as an important instrument for the study of portland cement clinker, cement, and concrete. Images of clinker surface topography are used to study particle size and shape, as well as fracture surface features.

Microscopy can be used to study raw materials, clinker, cement, and concrete. This comprehensive book on the use of microscopy for cement production contains the latest information on preparation of samples, stains and etches, Ono's method, and microscopical interpretation of clinker and raw materials.
Optical and scanning electron microscopy are useful techniques to identify and quantify the phases present in unground clinker or in the ground cement grains. The phases present in the clinker are dependent upon the original raw ingredients, temperatures in the kiln, and time of heating.
