Calcium silicate is the undesirable bonding phase in sinter with relatively high melting point and poor reducibility, while the formation mechanism in sinter is ambiguous. Herein, the phase transformation, phase quantification, and morphology evolution of calcium silicate and calcium ferrite in CaO‐SiO2‐Fe2O3‐Al2O3 systems under different n(Fe2O3)/n(CaO) and Al2O3 content are investigated. It is found that with the increase of n(Fe2O3)/n(CaO), the calcium ferrite phases transform from Ca2Fe2O5 (C2F) to complex calcium ferrite, and calcium silicate phases including β‐Ca2SiO4 (β‐C2S) and γ‐Ca2SiO4 (γ‐C2S) are promoted. Moreover, small amount (2%) of Al2O3 can effectively promote the content of silico‐ferrite of calcium and aluminum (SFCA) increasing from 20.95% to 46.69%, whereas inhibiting the β‐C2S from 51.79% to 42.34%. When the content of Al2O3 is over 4%, the Ca2Al(AlSiO7) phase is formed, where both the SFCA and calcium silicate are inhibited. On this base, the competitive mechanism for the formation of calcium silicate and calcium ferrite is revealed, where the Ca2+ and Si4+ are preferred to react with Fe3+ and Al3+ to form liquid phase SFCA, while the amount for β‐C2S or γ‐C2S can be decreased due to the deprivation of Ca2+ and Si4+.
