Abstract
The oxygen solubility in the niobium-containing ironnickel melts has been experimentally studied at 1823 K using the Fe – 40 % Ni alloy as an example. It was shown that niobium decreases the oxygen solubility in this melt. The equilibrium constant of interaction of niobium and oxygen dissolved in the Fe – 40 % Ni melt (lgK(1) (Fe – 40 % Ni) = –4.619), the Gibbs energy of this reaction ( = 161,210 J/mol), and the interaction parameters characterizing these solutions ( = –0.630; = –0.105; = 0.010) were determined. The equilibrium constant of interaction of niobium and oxygen dissolved in the Fe – Ni melts, the Gibbs energy of reaction of niobium and oxygen interaction, and the interaction parameterscharacterizing these solutions were calculated in a wide range of concentrations at 1823 K. Oxygen solubility in the various compositions niobium-containing Fe – Ni melts was determined at 1823 K. With an increase of the nickel content in melt the affinity of niobium to oxygen increases substantially. This is due to the fact that, when the nickel content in melt increases, the bond strengths of oxygen with the melt base weakens
