Thermodynamic Assessment of the Fe-Ca-S, Fe-Mg-O and Fe-Mg-S Systems

Thermodynamic descriptions of the Fe-Mg-O, Fe-Ca-S and Fe-Mg-S systems are all important in order to perform thermodynamic calculations related to the steelmaking process. The experimental information of many sulphur-containing systems, including Fe-Ca-S and Fe-Mg-S, is lacking and they are here thus approximated to behave similarly to the corresponding oxygen systems. This study presents a description of the Fe-Mg-O system in good agreement with experimental information. Additionally, descriptions of the Fe-Ca-S and Fe-Mg-S systems are presented. These descriptions may be reasonable estimations considering the lack of experimental information.
