"Computerized thermodynamic databases for solid and liquid metals, slag, and solid oxide phases in the Al2O3-CaO-CoO-CrO-Cr2O3-FeO-Fe2O3-MgO-MnO-NiO-SiO2 system (with dissolved S and P) have been developed by critical evaluation/optimization of various available phase equilibrium and thermodynamic data. The databases contain parameters of models specifically developed for molten slags, liquid steel, and solid oxide solutions such as spinel, pyroxenes, olivine, monoxide (wustite, periclase, lime), corundum, etc," scientists in Montreal, Canada report.
"By means of the optimization process, model parameters are found which reproduce various thermodynamic and phase ...
