Overall Refractory Wear
Chemical dissolution rates
depend in complex ways on
diffusivities, viscosities,
chemical reactions, and
temperature.
Spalling mechanisms and
rates are not well understood,
with quantitative models
being mostly empirical.
Net dissolution rates
disproportionately depend on
minor slag and refractory
components, involving
complex inorganic chemistry.

Conclusions
• Chemical dissolution and spalling account for most
refractory wear.
• Both mechanisms depend on temperature,
slag/refractory composition, and slag flow rates,
approximately in that order.
• Temperature dependence arises from both transport
and solubility issues.
• Both immersion and spinning cup analyses provide
good corrosion information, but neither simulates
practical systems.
• Temperature, not peak deposition rates, determine
maximum corrosion location.
