IDENTIFICATION OF CO-EXISTING PHASES IN REFRACTORIES INVOLVING LANTHANUM CHROMITE
The article discusses issues of phase identification in refractories involving lanthanum chromite. In particular, use of X-ray phase and microprobe methods of analysis has been demonstrated. Necessity of joint application of these complementary methods for identifying the co-existing phases in electroconductive lanthanum chromite based refractories has been shown: X-ray phase analysis -for establishing the nature of the co-existing phases of a refractory composition, microprobe analysis - for determining the degree of doping of the co-existing phases.
