Abstract

The specific electrical resistivities of titanium-containing slags, with iron oxide contents ranging from 2 to 30 pct, are reported. Values of resistivity are shown as a function of the iron oxide content in the slags, and indicate that titanium slags are in general very low in specific electrical resistivity as compared with siliceous slags.
