To promote sustainable development in the refractory industry, ferrotitanium slags, including titanium–alumina slag (TAS) and calcium alumino–titanate (CAT), were used in this study to prepare Al2O3-SiC-C (ASC) castables. In this study, low-cost ASC castables were prepared using TAS and compared with those prepared using CAT in different atmospheres. The results show that metallic inclusions and Ti-concentrated areas in TAS aggregates lead to lower cold mechanical strength in TAS-based castables when fired in air. The performance of the TAS-based castables was similar to that of the CAT-based castables in low-oxygen environments. In the TAS aggregates, titanium suboxide showed local enrichment at the crystal boundary of Al2O3 in the form of Ti2O3. Both CAT and TAS showed the structural commonalities that aggregates were damaged along the boundary of the main crystal phase after heat treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere.
