Abstract

The actual activity of oxygen in liquid metal is determined by means of sensors during the ladle treatment of 08X18H10T high-alloy steel. The activity of the components of the metallic and oxide solutions is calculated by means of models of a pseudosubregular solution for the liquid metal and a pseudoregular solution for the oxide slag. The corresponding energy parameters were determined in previous research. A formula is derived for the activity of oxygen in equilibrium with the components of Fe-Cr-Ni-Mn-Si-C-Al-Ti liquid steel, eight-component FeO-MnO-CaO-MgO-SiO2-CrO1.5-AlO1.5-TiO2 slag, and the gas phase. It is found that the metal-slag-gas system at the end of reduction is considerably closer to equilibrium than at the end of oxidation. The development of the reduction process is studied in terms of the difference in chemical potentials of the actual and equilibrium oxygen.
