Abstract
The absorption of water by molten alumina was described by von Wartenberg in 1951 (1). He found that alumina melted in a tungsten arc in flowing hydrogen or in the inner part of an atomic hydrogen torch would spatter on solidifying. He also observed that alumina frothed when melted deep in an oxy-hydrogen flame, and that alumina melted in a ZrO2-furnace formed foamy drops when water vapor was admitted into the furnace.
