Al2O3-SiO2 | Ni-Fe alloy | The substitute of mullite to SiO2 mullite of the refractory bonding matrix or the use of alumina bricks can avoid the reoxidation of the melt and intense inclusion formation | [52] |
| GM, MgO boards, and dry powder | 0.45C-3.1Si-0.4Mn-8.5Cr-0.25Ni | An oxidized steel layer can be formed at the steel/refractory lining interface | [53] |
MgO, Al2O3, MgO + 2MgO·SiO2 GMs | Ti-stabilized ultra-low carbon steel | The large difference in oxygen potential between refractory and steel phase leads to the formation of (Mg, Fe)O layer ( = 10-11 Pa); The thicker layer was formed using MgO-based GM compared with Al2O3-based GM | [49] |
| MgO- and Al2O3-based GMs | Ti-stabilized ultra-low carbon steel | The oxidation capacity of MgO GM with 10SiO2-6FeO was higher than that of Al2O3 GM with 3.3SiO2 + 2FeO | [24] |
| MgO-CaO and MgO-based GMs | Si-Mn-killed SAE 1055 steel | The GM with the reducible oxides SiO2 and FeO was responsible for providing oxygen and causing reoxidation of the molten steel | [32] |
| MgO- and Al2O3-based GMs | Ti-stabilized ultra-low carbon steel | The MgO GM represented a stronger oxidizing capacity, while Al2O3 can improve the cleanliness of the molten steel | [51] |
| High-silica tundish refractory (66MgO-27SiO2-4FeO-3CaO) | Fe-2Al alloy | The content of the oxidizing oxides in the refractory should be reduced to avoid the loss of Al in the alloy | [54,55] |
