Thermodynamics of Fe-C-j (j = Al, Si, P, S) Melts

摘要

Based on a proposed method, the mathematical expressions between carbon solubility in Fe-C-j (j=Al, Si, P, S) melts and temperature were obtained. The expressions show the relation of the affecting factors of component j and temperature on carbon solubility, and the activity interaction coefficient of j upon carbon depends on atomic number, covalent radius and electro-negativity. The affecting factors of four elements on carbon solubility are all negative. There is a linear relationship between covalent radius and electro-negativity.
