Abstract
In this chapter, the basic characteristics of different types of ferrous slag are discussed. The chapter describes the characteristics of blast furnace slag and steel slag, the main two types of ferrous slag. Blast furnace slag is created during the melting and reduction of iron ore in a blast furnace, while steel slag is produced during the conversion of hot metal to crude steel or during the melting of scrap in various kinds of furnaces. The influences on ferrous slag properties, which depend on the type of slag, are presented, as are the main chemical and mineralogical composition, physical-mechanical properties, volume instability, and dicalcium oxide decomposition.
