Cement Type Competition: Which cement is the most widely used in engineering?

Cement is one of the indispensable materials in building engineering, and different types of cement have their own advantages in engineering application. This paper will introduce four common types of cement, and analyze their characteristics and scope of application to help you better understand the selection and use of cement.

Aluminate cement

Although aluminate cement appeared earlier than portland cement, it has not been widely used because of its performance limitations.

Portland cement

Portland cement has become the most commonly used cement type in modern engineering because of its excellent durability and strength.

Sulfate cement

Sulfate cement is mainly used in special projects and specific environments, and is not the mainstream choice.

Phosphate cement

Phosphate cement has some applications in some special fields, but it is not the main choice in engineering.
