A significant number of welding fluxes and industrial ceramics are produced in the Ukraine. The production of these materials is sufficient for both domestic needs and significant export. It is assumed that the ternary CaO-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 system may become the basis for the development of agglomerated welding fluxes and technical ceramics. Three samples of ternary CaO-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 system were studied by means of high-temperature X-ray diffraction above the melting point: 23.3CaO-14.7Al 2 O 3-62.0SiO 2 wt. % (sample 1, eutectic), 9.8CaO-19.8Al 2 O 3-70.4SiO 2 wt. % (sample 2, eutectic), 15.6 CaO-36.5Al 2 O 3-47.9SiO 2 wt. % (sample 3). Experimental scattering intensity curves, structure factors and the radial distribution function of atoms were obtained. The structural parameters of short-range order were calculated using melt structure models obtained by Reverse Monte Carlo method. The existence of microparticle associates of the mullite or sillimanite type immersed in the slag matrix is assumed. It is assumed that the calcium ions coordinated aroundthese associates are surrounded by oxygen melt anions. Such a structure can be considered as a colloidal solution. The microparticle of mullite is the core of the aggregate that is surrounded by calcium and oxygen ions from the molten medium.
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.
