Aluminate cement, also known as ciment à haute teneur en alumine or calcined aluminate cement, is a special refractory cement made from ore (such as kaolin, bauxite, coal gangue, etc.) as raw materials and calcined at high temperature. The main component of aluminate cement is calcium aluminate (CA), which has a high aluminum oxide (Al2O3) contenu, généralement entre 40%-70%. Aluminate cement has the following characteristics:

1.Short initial and final setting time: Compared with ordinary silicate cement, aluminate cement has a faster setting speed and can reach a certain strength in a short time, which is conducive to shortening the construction period.

2.Superior high-temperature performance: Aluminate cement has high fire resistance and heat resistance, and can maintain stability and mechanical properties in high temperature environments. Donc, it is often used in matériaux réfractaires and high-temperature equipment.

3.Chemical erosion resistance: Aluminate cement has good acid, alkali, salt and erosion resistance, and is suitable for occasions where chemical erosion may occur in chemical, petroleum and other industries.

4.Résistance aux chocs thermiques: Since aluminate cement has a low thermal expansion coefficient, it can better resist thermal stress when the temperature changes and has strong thermal shock resistance.

5.Permeability resistance: Aluminate cement has good permeability resistance, which can effectively prevent the penetration of moisture and corrosive substances and improve the durability of the structure.

Aluminate cement is widely used in refractory materials, high-temperature equipment, chemical engineering, water conservancy engineering and other fields. In terms of refractory materials, aluminate cement is often used in the production of refractory castables, refractory mortars and refractory prefabricated components. During the construction process, the appropriate type of aluminate cement should be selected according to the specific working conditions and requirements to ensure its performance and service life.
