Abstract

The deoxidation equilibria of aluminum-magnesium and aluminum-manganese in liquid nickel equilibrated with Al2O3-saturated MgAl2O4 and MnAl2O4, respectively, were investigated in the temperature range of 1773 to 1873 K. At 1773 K, the oxygen levels could be reduced to 5.8 to 6.6 ppm with 2.5 to 10 ppm magnesium and 0.05 to 0.9 mass pct aluminum in the Ni-Mg-Al-O system, and to less than 20 ppm with more than 1.5 mass pct manganese and 30 ppm aluminum in the Ni-Mn-Al-O system. With the experimental results mainly obtained in the present work, the interaction parameters, e Mg Al , e Mn Al , e O Mg , e O Mn , and e O Al , and the equilibrium constants, log \(K_{MgAl_2 O_4 (Ni)} \), log \(K_{MnAl_2 O_4 (Ni)} \), log K Mg(Ni), log K Mn(Ni), and log K Al(Ni), were estimated using a multiple regression analysis.
