Measurement of synthetic high alumina blast furnace
slags in the laboratory

Abstract

Viscosity of synthetic high alumina blast furnace slags prepared in the laboratory in line with compositions of the slag encountered in the related industry is measured using inner cylinder rotation type viscometer.(Model: VIS403-HF) The measured values are compared with values of viscosity calculated using IIDA model. The measured and the calculated values are in good agreement. The analysis of results show that increased C/S ratio and MgO contents of the slag decrease the viscosity while TiO2 additions have a minimal effect on the viscosity measurements, under the compositional ranges examined.
