Thermodynamic Equilibria of Yttrium and Sulfur in Liquid Iron
摘要
Sulfur is an impurity element that generally reduces the mechanical performance and corrosion resistance of steel, and should be removed as much as possible in steelmakingSteelmaking. YttriumYttrium has a strong affinity for [S] and significantly reduces the content of [S] by forming sulfides. Accurate thermodynamicThermodynamics data are integral to studying the yttriumYttrium-sulfurYttrium-sulfur equilibrium reaction and inclusion modification. This work used a high-purity yttria crucible to investigate the thermodynamicThermodynamics equilibrium of [Y] and [S] under an argon atmosphere in an induction furnace. The equilibrium constantEquilibrium constant and interaction coefficientInteraction coefficient of the yttriumYttrium-sulfur reaction in liquid iron were determined at 1600–1700 ℃. The results show that the relationship between the equilibrium constantEquilibrium constant of the reaction YS(s) = [Y] + [S] can be expressed as: \(\log K_{{\text{Y}}} (K_{{\text{Y}}}^{{\text{O}}} = a_{{\text{Y}}} a_{{\text{S}}} /a_{{{\text{YS}}}} ) = { - }15151.05/T + 3.12 \quad 1600 - 1700\,{}^\circ\text{C}\) \(K^{\prime}_{{\text{Y}}} = ([\%{\text{Y}}][\%{\text{S}}])\) can be expressed as: \(\log K^{\prime} = \log K_{{\text{Y}}} - ( - 8076.88/T + 1.47)(2.8[\%{\text{S}}] + [{\text{Y}}])\) The first-order interaction coefficientInteraction coefficient \(e_{{\text{S}}}^{{\text{Y}}}\) can be presented as: \(e_{{\text{S}}}^{{\text{Y}}} = - 8076.88/T + 1.47\)
