The Mechanical Properties and Microstructures of Cement Formed from Pyrophosphoric and Orthophosphoric Acids

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study the setting times, compressive strengths and microstructures of cements formed using pyrophosphoric acid solution and b-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP; Ca3(PO4)2) were compared with those of cement formed using orthophosphoric acid solution and b-TCP. It was found that cement formed using pyrophosphoric acid solution set more slowly than that formed using orthophosphoric acid and could be mixed to a higher powder to liquid ratio, facilitating the production of cement exhibiting compressive strengths, without pre-compaction, as high as 25 MPa. The use of pyrophosphoric acid as opposed to orthophosphoric acid resulted in a marked change in the microstructure of the cement.
