A Review of the Chemistry, Structure and Formation Conditions of Silico-Ferrite of Calcium and Aluminum (‘SFCA’) Phases
TL;DR: In this article, the major bonding phases found in modern iron ore sinters are reviewed and a critical analysis of the data is proposed to generate the information necessary to fully describe the properties of both phases.

Microstructure Evolution During Controlled Solidification of “Fe 2 O 3 ”-CaO-SiO 2 Liquids in Air
TL;DR: In this paper, a new experimental technique has been developed that allows the stages of solidification to be determined in isolation, rather than inferred from the final microstructures, and it has been demonstrated that kinetic factors play a major role in determining the phases and micro-structures formed under the conditions investigated.
Experimental Liquidus Studies of the Pb-Cu-Si-O System in Equilibrium with Metallic Pb-Cu Alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the Pb-Cu-Si-O system has been investigated in the temperature range from 1073 to 1673 K (800 to 1400 K) for oxide liquid (slag) in equilibrium with solid Cu metal and/or liquid PbCu alloy, and solid oxide phases: (a) quartz or tridymite (SiO2) and (b) cuprite (Cu2O).

Controlled Solidification of Liquids Within the SFC Primary Phase Field of the “Fe2O3”-CaO-SiO2 System in Air
TL;DR: In this article, a liquid with a bulk composition within the silico ferrite of calcium (SFC) primary phase field in the ternary Fe2O3-CaO-SiO2 system in air was solidified at a controlled rate.

Measurement of Process Conditions Present in Pilot Scale Iron Ore Sintering
TL;DR: In this article, an improved experimental technique has been developed to measure, concurrently, the oxygen partial pressures and temperatures within a pilot scale iron ore sinter pot as a function of time.
