Continuous calorimetry in the iron-carbon system to 1900 K

Abstract

Calorimetric measurements were carried out in the iron-carbon system between 1900 and 900K, from zero to 0.20 atom fraction carbon, using an improved version of Oelsen’s continuous quantitative thermal analysis. Where equilibrium conditions are approached, they confirm recent thermodynamic data. The 95 pct confidence limits of the results are ±2.7 pct of the measured values.
