Slag corrosion-resistance mechanism of lightweight magnesia-based refractories under a static magnetic field

Slag corrosion resistance of lightweight magnesia-based refractories with micro/nano-sized pores under a static magnetic field is investigated. They exhibited excellent slag resistance under static magnetic field of 8.5 mT with an isolation layer composed of solid phases formed at the refractory/slag interface. The static magnetic field generated a magnetic brake effect that suppressed the infiltrating flow of the molten slag and decreased the dissolution rate of MgO grains. Moreover, it also limited the thickness of the isolation layer by reducing the extent of the refractory-slag interaction, which can be applied to further improve the slag resistance of refractories.
