Calcium and magnesium thermodynamics in steel and its impacts on secondary steelmaking: a computational thermodynamics approach
A. Costa e Silva(Published online: 1 May 2008)
Abstract
The scarcity and discrepancies in thermodynamic data in Ca and
Mg containing iron-basis systems is reviewed. The difficulties of
handling the problems involving these elements in steel with classical
thermodynamic methods recommend the use of computational
thermodynamics. Examples of applications of this method to Ca
and Mg related problems in steelmaking are presented.
