A model for viscosity estimation of molten slags in the Al 2 O 2 ‐CaO‐MgO‐SiO 2 system is presented in this work. The model is an extension to the viscosity estimation model of molten slags in the CaO‐FeO‐MgO‐MnO‐SiO 2 system developed before by the present author. The present model has explicitly taken charge compensation into consideration. It is postulated that Al exists in a structural unit MAl 2 O 4 when MO/ Al 2 O 3 >1 for the Al 2 O 3 ‐MO‐SiO 2 system (MO=CaO, MgO). MAl 2 O 4 has a similar behaviour as SiO 2 , i.e. it can form an Al‐O‐Al network and be depolymerised by network modifying oxides (CaO, MgO). The present model is applied in viscosity estimation of some slags within the Al 2 O 3 ‐CaO‐MgO‐SiO 2 system. A mean deviation of less than 25% is achieved for the present model.
