IRON in concrete

Why was iron powder or iron shaving put in the cement? The answer is, to strengthen the finished concrete. To make it more durable. Today the cement makers use fillers such as “slag” and or “fly-ash” to reduce the more expensive Portland cement. At any rate, after polishing the floor, this iron can create a major headache. It rust. After polishing one will end up with a nice shiny floor with iron showing on the surface. Suprisingly, this iron doesn't rust if the traffic is high.
