Abstract

A study has been made of the aluminium-oxygen equilibrium in liquid iron by studying the reaction. Electrolytic iron in pure alumina crucibles was maintained at a constant temperature under a controlled water-vapour/hydrogen gas mixture until equilibrium was established between solid, liquid and gas phases. The melts were then quenched in a stream of hydrogen and subsequently analysed for aluminium and oxygen. The value of this type of work is largely dependent upon accurate analytical techniques and in the present case analytical uncertainties have been reduced by carrying out experiments at 1723
