Results demonstrate that fine steel slag powder shortens the induction period; on the contrary, coarse steel slag powder delays the induction period. The acceleration period shortens in the presence of 15% dosage of steel slag powder, while elongates when the content of steel slag powder exceeds 15%. Increasing the specific surface area or dosage of steel slag powder brings forward the third exothermic peak. The total heat release declines with the increase of steel slag powder content; but climbs with the increase of specific surface area. The acceleration period is controlled by the nucleation kinetics. In the acceleration period, steel slag powder would cut the reaction resistance; but with the increasing of steel slag powder content, reaction resistance rebounds slightly. Moreover, the reduction of fineness also boosts the reaction resistance. Decay period is controlled by diffusion; diffusion resistance increases and then decreases with the increasing of steel slag powder, and increases with the increasing of specific surface area.The research findings lay a foundation for further studies on the hydration heat and hydrokinetics of steel slag powder-cement composite material. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20170709
