摘要
Abstract: The influences of K3AlF6, LiF and AlF3 contents on Al2O3 solubility were investigated by rotating conindum tablet. The influencing mechanism of melt composition, temperature and superheat on Al2O3 solubility were also discussed. The results show that Al2O3 solubility is affected by K3AlF6, LiF and AlF3 through altering melt composition. Adding K3AlF6 contributes to increase the Al2O3 solubility, while LiF and AlF3 have negative effects on Al2O3 solubility. Under the same melt temperature, the effect of K3AlF6 content is a little greater than that when superheat keeps identical, and with the increase of K3AlF6, the growing rate of Al2O3 solubility are 0.46% and 0.16%, respectively. The increase of LiF reduces the Al2O3 solubility evidently and the largest drop reaches 21.64%. When the temperature keeps identical, the effect of AlF3 content on Al2O3 solubility is minor. But when superheat keeps identical, the effect of AlF3 content is obvious, the largest drop reaches 8.20%. © 2018, Science Press. All right reserved.
