Effect of Mold Flux Containing Ce2O3 on the Contents of Aluminum, Silicon, and Titanium in Incoloy825 Super Alloy by Geng Xin, Boyang Li, Zhouhua Jiang, Hou Yu

“…Firstly, the activity model of the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-Na2O-MgO-CaF2-Ce2O3 slag system was established according to the ion and molecule coexistence theory (IMCT), and the calculation results show that with the increase of Ce2O3 content in the mold flux, the activity of Al2O3 decreases significantly and the activity of SiO2 decreases and gradually tends to 0. Secondly, thermodynamic calculations of the slag-steel interfacial chemical reaction revealed that the main chemical reaction in this study system is [Ti] + (SiO2) = [Si] + (TiO2). …”
