In order to reduce the amount of fluorite during the steelmaking process for environmental protection, it is essential to investigate the fluorine-free slag system. Thus, high-basicity CaO-SiO-FeO-MgO slag with BO content from 0% to 15% was designed, and its melting characteristics and viscosity were investigated. The influence of BO content on the phase diagram of the slag system was calculated using FactSage 7.

The effects of CeO₂ on the microstructure and synthesis mechanism of Al-Ti-C alloy were investigated by quenching experiment method, while using Al powder, Ti powder, graphite powder, and CeO₂ powder as main raw materials. The results showed that the addition of CeO₂ was favorable for promoting the formation of TiC particles in Al-Ti-C systems. With CeO₂ contents increasing, the distribution of TiC particles were more homogeneous, and the rare earth phase Ti₂AlCe was formed.
