Overview Primary ProductionAluminosilicate castables, which are widely used in aluminum transformation furnaces, are susceptible to chemical reactions between molten aluminum and the furnace refractory lining. To prevent those reactions, commercial additives such as BaSO 4 , CaF 2 , and AlF 3 are generally added in castables. This article presents and analyzes the effect of various amounts of the above additives as well as the influence of pre-firing temperatures on the corrosion behavior of an aluminosilicate low cement castable matrix in contact with liquid Al5%Mg alloy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
