The principal hydraulic cements are :... natural cement, a naturally occurring argillaceous limestone, calcined and pulverized, that is slower-setting and less uniform in quality than portland cement; aluminous, or high-alumina, cement, which consists mainly of calcium aluminates and is quick-strengthening and highly resistant to sulfate attack and high temperature; and expansive cements, which are usually of high sulfate and alumina contents, to produce expansion after hardening or to compensate for the expected drying shrinkage. 1, record 1, English, - quick%2Dsetting%20cement

The Dictionary of Earth Sciences (MIEAR) gives "quick hardening cement" as an equivalent to "ciment à prise rapide", but we think that it rather corresponds to the French term "ciment à durcissement rapide". 2, record 1, English, - quick%2Dsetting%20cement

A synthetic fibre made from two fibre-forming polymers which may be arranged to lie side-by-side or as a sheath surrounding a core. By suitable heat treatment a crimped fibre is produced because of the different shrinkage properties of the two polymers. Advantage may also be taken of the sheath having a lower softening temperature than the core to produce a non-woven fabric. 4, record 2, English, - bicomponent%20fiber

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[Delayed re-heat cracking] only occurs with certain materials such as 321 type stainless steel, as it is caused by hardening of the steel due to fine precipitations of titanium carbide inside the crystalline structure. The hardening causes the plastic deformation capacity to be transferred to the periphery of the grains. For this to happen, the following conditions have to be met : a high operating temperature([higher than] 475°C for 321 steel), a geometrical discontinuity at the weld root, strain hardening at the weld root showing significant shrinkage, heavy local load, which may be due to welding stresses, a defect in the weld root(e. g. a small shrinkage crack). 1, record 6, English, - delayed%20re%2Dheat%20cracking
