Prediction of Surface Tension and Viscosity of Liquid Iron Alloys and Molten Slag

Abstract

Since physico-chemical properties of liquid iron alloys and molten slag affects various phenomena in steelmaking pro- cess, the information on those properties is indispensable to control and design new technical processes. We sometimes, however, come across a situation of lacking those information, and we have to estimate the properties from some funda- mental physical quantities. This paper describes some procedures to predict the surface tension and the viscosity of liquid iron alloys and molten slag. In addition, some useful literatures will be given on the prediction of the properties
