Abstract
The submitted paper deals with experimental study of simulated refining systems. It focuses on two methods of melting temperature measurement by using the high-temperature microscope and the thermocouple in Marsh furnace. Temperature represents one of the most important physico– chemical properties of metallurgical slag systems. The melting interval is measured by using high temperature microscope while melting temperature is measured by using the thermocouple in Marsh furnace. It was found that both methods are suitable for the measurement of the slag systems melting temperature up to 1450°C and can give reliable results. The obtained results were confronted with theoretical knowledge. For experiment, slag systems similar to the Reactol 400/2 used as a refined tundish slag in Podbrezová Steel Plant were employed. Systems were done by combining natural materials with pure oxides.
