Abstract
The present study reports an experimental investigation into the effect of solid suspension on the viscosity of molten slags by the rotatingcylinder method The viscosities of CaOMgOAl2O3SiO2TiO2 melts containing different volume percentages of TiC particles 10 μm are measured at different temperatures It is found that the Arrhenius law was obeyed for both the melts with and without TiC particles The viscosity for the TiCcontaining melt is found to increase with the addition of the particles but the effect appears to be much greater than estimated by the Einstein–Roscoe type equation eta = eta 0 1 135f 25 where η and η o are the viscosities of the twophase mixture and the solidfree melt and f is the volume fraction of solid particles in the melt
