Abstract
Herein, the influence of Cr2O3 on the viscous flow behavior and structure of Cr‐containing molten titanium slag is investigated in this work. The melting and viscosity properties are studied by hemisphere method and rotating cylinder method, respectively. In addition, the structure of Cr‐containing molten titanium slag is investigated by Raman spectroscopy. It is shown in the results that the melting temperature and viscosity both increase with the increase of Cr2O3 content. The activation energy for viscous flow increases with increasing Cr2O3 content, which is in the same trend as viscosity. When the Cr2O3 content increases from 0% to 3%, the simpler 6‐coordinated Ti4+ and TiO44− monomer unit transformed into more complex O–Ti–O deformation and Ti2O64− chain unit. Furthermore, the fraction of relatively complex silicate structural units shows an increasing trend. Cr2O3 behaves as a network former and enhances the degree of polymerization of network structure, and the variation of Cr‐containing molten titanium slag structure is consistent with the increasing trend of viscosity.
