Interfacial Properties of Liquid Iron Alloys and Liquid Slags Relating to Iron- and Steel-making Processes

Abstract

Iterfacial properties and adsorption behavior play an important role in the progress of heterogeneous reactions, so accurate values of these properties are required as the basic knowldge to examine the interfacial phenomena in iron- and steel-making processes. In this review, data for surface tension of liquid iron alloys and liquid slags, contact angle between solid and liquid phases, and interfacial tension between liquid and liquid phases, are briefly summarized on the basis of currently published articles. © 1992, The Iron and Steel Institute of Japan.
