Due to the rapid cooling of the slag infiltrated into the mold-strand gap, it is expected that the rate of devitrification of the glass formed plays a key role in determining the proportion of crystalline phases influencing mold heat transfer. In this investigation, a novel procedure to calculate Time-Temperature-Transformation (TTT) curves of mold slags is presented. It is based on the integra...

Our understanding of early copper metallurgy in the Iberian Peninsula is mostly based on analysis from well-studied regions Southeast and Southwest. This paper focuses two recently recovered Chalcolithic metallurgical assemblages outside these traditional research foci: slagged crucibles Lugar Viejo III (Zaragoza) large slag cakes Cueva del Cañaveralejo (Córdoba). Analysis compositions microstr...

Investigations on the viscosity behavior of gasification slags with special respect to P2O5 are scarce. Therefore, a meta study was performed compiling relevant knowledge its effect melt compositions similar slags. The data showed whether oxide behaves acidic and as network former how changes varying basicity single-phase melt. A supplementary since previous paper anomaly bearing slag that is i...
