Improving Steel and Steelmaking—an Ionic Liquid Database for Alloy Process Design

Abstract

The latest development of a thermodynamic database is demonstrated with application examples related to the steelmaking process and steel property predictions. The database, TCOX, has comprehensive descriptions of the solution phases using ionic models. More specifically, applications involving sulphur and oxygen, separately as well as combined, are presented and compared with relevant multi-component experimental information found in the literature. The over-all agreement is good.
