A thermodynamic analysis of the phase equilibria in the Fe-Mn-S system
Abstract
The experimental information on the phase equilibria in the Fe-Mn-S system is meager. An attempt has now been made to predict these phase equilibria by extrapolation of the free energy properties from the binary sides. The crucial point is the choice of a thermodynamic model for the liquid phase which could apply to the whole range of composition. Such a model is suggested. The calculations show some encouraging agreement with the experimental information available and they yield a better understanding of some aspects of the formation of FeS during the solidification of steel, containing manganese.
