Examples

• The cementation of the foundation blocks took several hours to complete.
• Proper cementation ensures the structural integrity of the building.
• The blacksmith used cementation to harden the steel blade.
• Cementation occurs when minerals precipitate between sand grains.
• The geologist studied the cementation process in ancient rock formations.
• Without adequate cementation, the concrete mixture would remain weak.
• The cementation of carbon into iron creates a stronger alloy.
