Abstract
The solubility of chromium oxide in the CaO-CaF2 system has been deter mined at 1773K by equilibrating the flux with a CaO.Cr2O3 pellet at th e oxygen partial pressure of 2.28 x 10(-7) Pa. The solubility of Cr2O3 varies from 0.80 to 1.28 mass% in the flux with increasing the CaO co ntent from 15.6 to 20.6 mass%. In case of the dephosphorization of Fe- Cr-C melts with CaO bearing fluxes, the prevailing oxygen partial pres sure of the system is controlled by the reaction between CaO and Cr2O3 forming CaO.Cr2O3. The phosphorus distribution ratio between Fe-Cr-C- satd. alloys and CaO-SiO2-CaF2 fluxes saturated with CaO.Cr2O3, CaO an d 3CaO.SiO2 has been measured at 1573K. The phosphorus and chromium di stribution ratios decrease with increasing chromium content of the met al from 1 to 13 mass%.
