Abstract: | The thermodynamics of titanium in Fe-Cr alloys and of inclusion formation in Fe-Cr-N-Ti alloys was investigated. A metal-nitride-gas
equilibration technique was used to measure the activity of titanium. The equilibrium titanium content of the metal that is
in equilibrium with pure solid titanium nitride and nitrogen gas at 1 atm was determined. The activity coefficients of titanium
it(fTi) relative to 1 wt pct standard state in Fe were calculated for Fe-Cr alloys from the experimental results. The first-order
interaction coefficient between titanium and chromium, e
Ti
Cr
, was determined to be 0.024 at 1873 K. The solubility of nitrogen in Fe-Cr alloys was measured and was found to increase
with chromium content, which is in agreement with previous work. Thermodynamic calculations were made in order to predict
under what conditions titanium nitride will form in 409 stainless steel and was compared with inclusions found in plant samples.
The inclusion stability diagrams for 304 stainless steel and Fe-18 pct Cr and Fe-9 pct Cr alloys were computed. |
