Wetting and spreading phenomena between SiO 2 single crystal and CaO-SiO 2 slags with difference composition; SiO 2 saturated and non-saturated slags at 1 600°C were investigated by using the dispensed drop technique (DDT) with a high-speed camera (1 000 frames/s). The apparent contact angle and height of non-saturated slag were significantly smaller than those of saturated slag. The apparent radii of saturated and non-saturated slags were significantly different after 0.01 s. The change in the apparent volume of the slags was analyzed by using a spherical cap model. The apparent volume of the saturated slag was constant, but that of the non-saturated slag decreased because of film type spreading. After quenching, the film type spreading was verified, and a dissolution reaction occurred in the non-saturated slag, whereas no such phenomena were observed in the saturated slag. For the saturated slag, the spreading kinetics fit well with the non-reactive viscous model suggested by a previous study. However, nonsaturated slag could not be applied to spreading kinetics due to the film type spreading.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
