Role of iron and aluminum oxides as fluxes during the burning of portland cement

Phase equilibrium data show that Al sub 2 O sub 3 and Fe sub 2 O sub 3 act as fluxes during burning of portland cement. The concept of clinkering diagrams is developed and selection of fluxes to assist clinkering is discussed.
