Faculty of Engineering - Papers (Archive)

In a recent investigation Mills and Riaz [1] showed that industrial oxide refractory corrosion by liquid oxides could be changed by the application of a small voltage across the liquid oxide-refractory interface. They ex-plained their result in terms of penetration of the refractory pores with liquid oxide. Their analysis of the corrosion effect was to some degree limited by the use of an industrial refractory material in the study. Fur-ther, it was not clear whether their findings were limited to solely industrial refractories or had wider ranging application to more dense ceramic type solid oxide systems. In this study, a …
