This study shows the effects of nuclear waste glass production on Monofrax K‐3 refractory corrosion. A continuously fed research‐scale melter containing an Fe‐ and Ni‐rich simulated nuclear waste feed with borosilicate glass‐forming chemicals was cyclically melted at 1150°C and idled at 1050°C for a total of 11 weeks. Chemical maps using scanning electron microscopy show the interactions between the quenched melt and the refractory. Nanoscale X‐ray‐computed tomography was used for a three‐dimensional visualization of certain parts of the interface. Unreacted K‐3 consists of primarily corundum (Al,Cr)2O3 and spinel (Fe2+,Mg)(Al,Cr)2O4 interlocking crystalline phases. Some of the Cr from the refractory interacts with the Ni and Fe from the melt to form a reaction layer comprising (Ni,Fe2+)(Cr,Fe3+)2O4 spinel crystals. Simultaneously, melt components (Na,Si) infiltrate into the refractory. This interaction proceeds at the expense of the integrity of the refractory structure. Intact refractory grains (e.g., (Al,Cr)2O3) as well as the reaction layer itself can lose mechanical integrity and spall off into the melt, especially near the top of the melter. As the reaction layer can be a protective boundary for the refractory against further melt infiltration, a reduction in the reaction layer thickness allows an increase in refractory corrosion.
