The fillers of ordinary and pyrolytic basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag were selected to investigate the properties of their asphalt mastic. XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) was used to analyze chemical composition of fillers. Meanwhile, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and AIMS (Aggregate Image Measurement System) were utilized to explore meso-morphology, angularity and sphericity. Penetration, softening point and viscosity of asphalt mastic were discussed, while the rheological properties of asphalt mastic were studied by means of DSR (dynamic shear rheometer) and BBR (bending beam rheometer) tests. The experimental results show that chemical composition of different types of BOF slag is similar. The grinding energy consumption of pyrolytic BOF slag is higher than that of limestone and ordinary BOF slag. It is not recommended that pyrolytic BOF slag filler is produced by grinding process. The micro-texture structure of ordinary BOF slag filler is more abundant and their angularity index is about 15% higher than that of limestone filler. The stiffness modulus and rutting factor of asphalt mastic with ordinary BOF slag filler is higher than that of limestone filler. Meanwhile the incorporation of BOF slag filler will further reduce the low-temperature flow performance of asphalt mastic. The effect of pyrolytic BOF slag filler on the performance of asphalt mastic is less than that of ordinary BOF slag. Ordinary BOF slag filler can effectively improve high temperature anti-rutting stability of asphalt mixture. Ordinary BOF slag has a useful application prospect as filler in asphalt mixture.
