Abstract
Thermo-gravimetric method was used to determine the temperature of crystallization onset of alloys of the Fe – Ni – Cr – C – Si system depending on concentration of chromium and nickel. It was shown that complex ferroalloys containing 0.2 – 21.0 % Ni (at Cr = 25 – 28 %); 0.5 – 45.0 % Cr (at Ni = 10 – 11 %); 2.0 % C and 0.3 % Si, iron, and impurities belong to the category of low-melting alloys and have rational values (1320 – 1400 °C) of crystallization temperatures in terms of their use for steel processing in the ladle. An increase of the chromium content to more than 45 % in these alloys is accompanied by an intense increase of their temperatures of the crystallization onset.
