A qualitative corrosion study was carried out on Al2O3-ZrO2-SiO2 and Al2O3-
ZrO2 crucibles in contact with a glass prepared from a mixture of a blast-f
urnace slag and cullet (soda lime glass). Chemical, microscopy, X-ray diffr
action, and micro-Raman spectroscopy investigations are reported. No differ
ence in corrosion resistance was found between the two materials, and the d
issolution of alumina and mullite is considered to be a homogeneous reactio
n at the interface. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. Ail rights reserved.
