Abstract

In this research, experimental parameters of the confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM) system were investigated to understand their impact on artifact changes in the melting and crystallization behaviors of synthetic slag in an oxidizing environment as it underwent rapid changes in gas flow , heating, and cooling rates. This study aims to provide CSLM users with fundamental information in utilizing CSLM equipment to investigate molten and solid slag behaviors.
