Tricalciumsilicate (C3S, Alite) is the major component of the Portland cement clinker. Hydration of Alite is decisive in influencing the properties of the resulting material. This is due to its high content in cement. The mechanism of the hydration of C3S is very complicated and not yet fully understood. There are different models describing the hydration of C3S in various ways. In this work for a better understanding of hydration mechanism, the hydrated C3S was investigated by using the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and for the first time, the samples for the investigations were prepared by using of focused ion beam from sintered pellets of C3S. Also, an FEI Talos F200x with an integrated Super‐X EDS system was used for the investigations. FEI Talos F200X combines outstanding high‐resolution S/TEM and TEM imaging with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy signal detection, and 3D chemical characterization with compositional mapping.
