Abstract
The solubility of C in Mn-Fe-Si-C melt decreases with increasing Si content, and its decrease becomes greater when the phase in equilibrium with Mn-Fe-Si-C melt changes from carbon to SiC. Such behavior has an industrial implication for low carbon products and processes of steels and Mn alloys. Li and Morris assessed the solution properties of Mn-Fe-Si-C system in the UIP formalism, but the effectiveness of their assessment was limited in applicable ranges of composition to Mn-rich solution and of temperature to around 1673 K (1400 °C). This study develops the information of activity coefficients of C and Si of Mn-Fe-Si-C system from the consistent experimental solubility of C and assesses them in the UIP formalism. This assessment of Mn-Fe-Si-C system describes confidently the behavior of solution properties in a wide range of composition and temperature.
