Abstract: | The density of liquid Fe-C alloys at temperatures ranging from 1250 °C to 1550 °C was measured by the sessile drop profile method. An accurate method of digital image processing was de-veloped to capture, enhance, and determine the coordinates of the X-ray shadow image of the droplet. Laplace's equation was then solved to obtain the volume and density of the droplet. The density of iron-carbon alloys was then determined as a function of carbon content (from 0 to 4 wt pct) and temperature (1250 °C to 1550 °C). A least-squares analysis of our data points gives an equation for the density of liquid iron-carbon alloys as a function of temperatureT [K] and carbon content [pct C] [wt pct]: ρ[g/cm3] = (7.10 - 0.0732[pct C]) - (8.28 - 0.874[pct C]) × 10-4(T - 1823) These results will give a value to within ±1.5 pct of the data of Lucas, [3] Widawski and Sauerwald, [2] and the present work. |
