| Abstract Scope |
In the ferroalloy industry, especially for the ferronickel production, the refractory stability represents an essential factor. The corrosion of refractory materials caused by chemical attack of high melting slags massively influences the furnace lifetime. To understand the complex processes of interaction between synthetic FeNi slag and magnesia refractory, thermodynamic simulations indicated the interactions between liquid slags and a selected refractory material. The applied model was compiled by the simulation package SimuSage and includes thermodynamic data from FactSageTM. At the end, the simulation should describe the reactions between slag and refractory during the corrosion process. Ultimately, this corrosion model should help to minimize the production cost of the industry by improving the refractory lifetime and performance. |
