Popis: The Al2O3-based slags are playing important roles in the preparation of Cu–Cr alloy through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) – Metallurgy method. However, the current research on Al2O3-based slag is mainly concentrated on steel metallurgical slag and electroslag remelting slag, and the research on aluminum thermal reduction slag with high content of Al2O3 is still insufficient. Therefore, systematic studies of the physical properties of slag with high aluminum content were carried out in the present work, and the influence of CaF2, CaO, MgO, SiO2, and Na3AlF6 on viscosities, liquidus temperatures, densities, and surface tensions of high Al2O3 content slags was measured and analyzed. The results indicated that CaO and CaF2 have positive effects on the physical properties of Al2O3-based slags, MgO has positive effects when its content is not over 3%, and SiO2 and Na3AlF6 have negative impacts. CaO, CaF2, and MgO (not over 3%) could be used as additives to improve the metallurgical performance of Al2O3-based slags in aluminothermic reduction–slag refining method.
