Description
Summary:The effect of shear stress on the crystallization behavior of molten 50CaO-50SiO2 (mol%) slag was investigated by in-situ measurements of its electrical capacitance in wide temperature range including supercooled region. It is well known that the electrical capacitance of liquids should be generally much higher than that of solids because of the differences in their respective polarization mechanisms. The difference was employed as a sensitive indicator of the crystallization of molten silicates in an experimental furnace equipped with an electrical-capacitance measurement system. The system comprised a Pt-based alloy crucible and a rotating rod that allow us to evaluate the effect of shear stress, both connected to a capacitance meter (LCR meter).
