Determination of thermodynamic activity of carbon in alloyed molybdenum carbide

Conclusions It is demonstrated that the thermodynamic properties of carbon in the carbide {ie736-01}. and {ie736-02}, vary greatly under the action of alloying, and that the effect shows up at concentrations of alloying elements less than 1%.The complex nature of the concentration dependence of carbon bond energy in alloyed carbides is due to the simultaneous effect of a variety of factors. The contribution of a particular factor to the overall bond energy differs with different concentrations.Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No. 9, pp. 64–70, September, 1967.
