Abstract

The effect of nano-carbon black content (0, 8 and 12 wt.%) on the wettability of molten steel on Al2O3–C substrates was investigated by the sessile drop wetting method at 1500 °C under argon atmosphere. At the beginning of the wetting experiment, the contact angle decreased with the increase in nano-carbon black content. As the wetting experiment progressed, FeAl2O4 layer and sheet Al2O3 layer were found at the interface between the molten steel and the Al2O3–C substrates with 0 and 8 wt.% nano-carbon black content, and the contact angle deceased with time. When the content of nano-carbon black was 12 wt.%, a large number of nano-Al2O3 whiskers were observed, which made the contact angle between the molten steel and Al2O3–C substrate become large. Based on the scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometry results, the formation mechanism of FeAl2O4 layer and Al2O3 layer and the interfacial reaction mechanism were proposed.
