Phase-diagram study for the Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-CaF{sub 2}-SiO{sub 2} system

Journal Article · · Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B: Process Metallurgy and Materials Processing Science
Phase relations for the Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-CaF{sub 2}-SiO{sub 2} system were investigated from 1,673 to 1,723 K. The hot-filament technique was applied to observe a two-liquid region and liquidus for the ternary system. The liquidus saturated with SiO{sub 2} was investigated at 1673 K by using the hot-filament technique and the chemical equilibrium technique. In this system, the addition of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} to the CaF{sub 2}-SiO{sub 2} system reduces the congruent temperature. A small substitution of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} for CaF{sub 2} increases the solubility of SiO{sub 2}, namely, if the region of liquid phase could be enlarged. These results suggest that Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} would be an effective substitute of CaF{sub 2} in slag for steelmaking.
