The interfacial reactions of Cr2O3- Al2O3 refractory materials with smelting reduction ironmaking slag were investigated by thermodynamic modeling. The calculation results indicated that different spinel phases were produced after the interactions between the slag and three types of refractory materials( 10Cr2O3- 90Al2O3,50Cr2O3- 50Al2O3 and 90Cr2O3- 10Al2O3) at 1 500℃. Increased contents of Al2O3 and Cr2O3in the remained liquid slag after interaction implied the dissolution of refractory. Thermodynamic modeling predicted that the process of dissolution might lead to much deeper penetration into the refractory materials by the present compositional slag. Accordingly,corrosion testing was also conducted to validate the thermodynamic prediction.

The corrosion behavior of alumina–chromia refractory against two kinds of industrial slags(coal slag and iron smelting slag) at 1550°C was investigated via thermodynamic simulations. In the proposed simulation model, the initial slag first attacks the matrix and surface aggregates and subsequently attacks the inner aggregates. The simulation results indicate that the slag chemistry strongly affects the phase formation and corrosion behavior of the refractory brick. Greater amounts of alumina were dissolved and spinel solid phases formed when the brick interacted with iron smelting slag. These phenomena, as well as the calculated lower viscosity, may lead to much deeper penetration than that exhibited by coal slag and to more severe corrosion compared to that induced by coal slag. The thermodynamic calculations well match the experimental observations, demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed simulation model for evaluating the corrosion behavior of alumina–chromia refractory.
