Overview of the applications of thermodynamic databases to steelmaking processes
Source abstract
Abstract
Computerized thermodynamic databases for solid and liquid steel, slags and solid oxide solutions, for large numbers of components, have been developed over the last three decades by critical evaluation/optimization of all available phase equilibrium and thermodynamic data. The databases contain model parameters specifically developed for molten slags, liquid and solid steel and solid oxide solutions. With user-friendly software, which accesses these databases, complex chemical reactions and phase equilibria occurring throughout the steelmaking process can be calculated over wide ranges of temperature, oxygen potential and pressure. In the present article, the thermodynamic models and databases for molten slag and liquid steel included in well-known thermochemical packages and their applications to complex steelmaking processes involving molten slag, steel, inclusions, refractories and gases are reviewed.
