Distribution of oxygen between molten steel and oxide refractories

OSTI ID:5499831
The authors examine two possible modes of oxygen migration in the oxide refractory steel interface region at high temperatures which are tentatively designated as the physical and chemical modes. Oxygen distribution is of great significance in the interaction processes of molten steel with oxide refractories. The partial pressure of oxygen P /SUB O2/ over the oxides ThO/sub 2/, Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/, ZrO/sub 2/, Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, BeO, CaO, Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/, MgO TiO/sub 2/ and SiO/sub 2/ are presented. Equations are explained which make it possible to evaluate the oxygen distribution between the steel and the slag. For solving certain practical problems, the oxygen distribution constant can be assigned the same value for all the oxide refractories.
