Boundary Layers Refractory/Glassmelt And Glass Defects

In this paper the formation of boundary layers and their behaviour regarding corrosion and glass defect potential of different refractory/glass melt combinations will be discussed. The reaction between the refractories and glass melts is determined by the diffusion of the different ions from the glass melt into the refractory material and vice versa. The connected solution reaction lead to the formation of a saturation boundary layer, which influences the corrosion behaviour and the glass defect potential.
