“…In sample S1, the proportion of SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 was the highest, while sample S2 had the highest hardness, where a higher proportion of CaO was measured. Comparing the results with those of Deng et al [ 17 ], the sample with the lowest SiO 2 content, which also had the highest CaO content, should have the highest hardness. The Al 2 O 3 content was practically the same in samples S1, S2 and S4, while it was slightly lower in sample S3, which affected the measured hardness values.…”
