The strength characteristics of alkaline slag-cement made with the use of waste from alkaline sealing of metals are presented. The cement was prepared from granulated blast-furnance slag with average component contents in the following ranges (mass %): SiO/sub 2/ 36.0-40.2, Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ 4-18.2, FeO 0.1-3.7, MnO 0.4-5.2, CaO 33.1-48.8, MgO 2.2-9.8. With the use of wastes from the descaling process in alkali melts for production of alkaline slag cements it is possible to obtain highly effective cements of type 700-900, which is 2 to 3 times the value for portland cements. Therefore, the use of wastes from alkaline descaling for production of alkaline slag cements is of great economic and conservational significance. It is possible to devise a wasteless process of scale removal from metals; this is an important advantage of the alkaline scaling method over acid pickling.
