Viscosity of low silica CaO–5MgO–Al 2 O 3

Abstract

The viscosity of CaO–5MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ slag with low silica was measured by rotating cylinder method up to 1823 K. Slag compositions were chosen based on five different levels of SiO₂ content between 0 and 11·80%. The MgO content was 5·0%. The mass ratio of CaO/Al₂O₃ was varied from 0·66 to 1·95. It was shown that viscosity decreased with increasing temperature and decreased with increasing the mass ratio of CaO/Al₂O₃, following by an increase with further increasing the mass ratio of CaO/Al₂O₃. The viscosity decreased with the NBO/T ratio increasing, and the trend that flow activation energy changes with the NBO/T ratio of slag was the same as the trend that viscosity changes with the NBO/T ratio. Based on the experimental data as the boundary of the homogenous phase region, the mass triangle model was used to calculate the viscosity of low silica region.
