Abstract
The oxygen activity is studied by oxygen sensors during the oxidation period in experimental heat of a superalloy in a 5-t electric arc furnace. The results of chemical analysis of metal and slag samples are used to calculate the activities of the metallic and oxide solution components using the energy parameters of the models of a pseudosubregular solution for the melt and a pseudoregular ionic solution for the slag, which were determined and presented in our earlier works. Equations are derived for the activity of oxygen in equilibrium with all melt components simultaneously and with each component individually. The entire oxidation process and the oxidation reaction of each metallic solution component are analyzed by comparing the actual and equilibrium oxygen activities in the metal at the beginning, middle, and end of the oxidation period of heat. The driving forces of the oxidation process are calculated from the difference between the actual and equilibrium chemical potentials of oxygen.
