    Abstract:

    The interaction between metal and refractory in vacuum induction melting furnaces has been extensively studied. It is interesting that depending on the type of metal or alloy that is melt, then the behaviour of the interaction is different. The present paper shows that the behaviour of liquid Nickel is different from liquid Iron when they are processed in an Alumina refractory. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis was carried out in a commercial software in order to explain those differences. The results showed that Iron interacts with the silica in the alumina while Nickel interacts with the alumina itself changing dramatically the rate of interaction.
