Application of Optical Floating Zone Method to Dissolution Kinetics of Inclusions in a Steelmaking Slag

The dissolution kinetics of micro‐particles (inclusions) in steelmaking slags is investigated using the high temperature confocal scanning laser microscope (HT ‐ CSLM). However, these studies focus on the limited type of inclusions such as Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2, MgO, CaO, and MgAl 2 O 4 . To experimentally study the removability of various problematic inclusions that are not available in the market, optical floating zone and sintering techniques are …
