Wettability of aluminosilicate refractories with molten steel

  • Published:
Refractories Aims and scope

Conclusions

An increase in the Al2O3 content of the base causes the wetting angle of steel 10kp to increase with an increase in the temperature from 1490 to 1620°C.

Chromium-nickel steel wets refractories to a greater degree than rimmed steel. In this case the wetting angle is largest on mullite-corundum refractories containing 75–78% Al2O3.

The introduction of small amounts of modifying additives in the form of MgO and Cr2O3+ ZrSiO4 into mullite-corundum and corundum refractories causes the wetting angle to increase by 7–10° and helps to increase the resistance of the refractory materials to the action of rimmed steel.
