An accurate thermodynamic database based on physically sound thermodynamic models can provide thermodynamic calculations of useful phase diagrams and comprehensive chemical reactions related to refractory corrosion in steelmaking processes. In this study,the FactS age thermodynamic database,one of the most comprehensive thermodynamic databases for oxide systems among other commercial software,is reviewed in particular for the steelmaking refractory research,and several applications to refractory corrosion are presented.展开更多
