Funded Activity Summary

Interfacial phenomena between carbon-alumina refractories and molten steel: A Monte Carlo simulation study. This project aims to carry out an atomic level investigation of the interfacial phenomena between carbon-alumina refractories and molten steel. For the first time, Monte Carlo computer simulations will be used to investigate the dissolution behavior of graphite particles distributed randomly in an alumina matrix. With support from experiments, these simulations are expected to identify mechanisms and effective solutions for minimizing carbon erosion and surface reactions. Leading to advanced refractory materials with enhanced wear resistance, this research will result in significant improvements to steel quality, lowered costs, reduced downtimes and will be of far reaching importance to steelmaking technologies.
