Phase diagrams of oxide system FeO–MnO–MgO–SiO2. Report 2. Triple state diagrams FeO–MnO–SiO2, FeO–MgO–SiO2, MgO–MnO–SiO2

Abstract

The knowledge of the thermodynamics and phase equilibria of silicate melts FeO–MnO–MgO–SiO2 and solid solutions of silicates of the MnO–MgO–SiO2 system allows us to predict the appearance of non-metallic inclusions in steel. The FeO–MnO–MgO–SiO2 system includes six double and four triple state diagrams of oxide systems. Previously, the state diagrams of binary FeO–MnO, FeO–MgO, FeO–SiO2, MnO–MgO and ternary FeO–MnO–MgO oxide systems were studied. In this work, state diagrams of the FeO–MnO–SiO2, FeO–MgO–SiO2 and MgO–MnO–SiO2 systems were constructed. The calculations used the theory of subregular ionic solutions, which takes into account the dependence of the coordination number on the composition of the melt, quite accurately describes diagrams with two immiscible liquids and is consistent with the experimental data presented in the literature. In the work, the energy parameters of this theory were selected to calculate the activities of the components of the oxide melt of each of the systems under study, as well as the parameter of the theory of regular ionic solutions to calculate the activities of the components of the magnesium-manganese orthosilicate solution |Mg2SiO4, Mn2SiO4|. The data obtained on the state diagrams of the systems included in the FeO–MgO–MnO–SiO2 system will make it possible to establish non-metallic inclusions in equilibrium with the liquid metal in the Fe–Mg–Mn–Si–O system
