Effect of applied voltage on wetting behavior between Al2O3 saturated CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 molten slag and dense Al2O3 substrate

Key Points

• Wetting behavior is affected by applied voltage when molten slag interacts with the dense alumina substrate, hinting at novel material applications.
• Under varying applied voltages, distinct wetting patterns emerge between alumina and molten slag, providing insights into thermal and chemical properties.
• Assessment of phase interactions reveals that changes in applied voltage lead to significant variations in the wetting behavior observed during the experiments.
• This study might highlight the need for further exploration of these interactions to enhance material performance in industrial applications.
