Abstract
The surface tension of liquid Fe-Cr-O alloys has been determined by using the sessile drop method at 1823 K. It was found that the surface tension of liquid Fe-Cr-O alloy markedly decreases with oxygen content at constant chromium content, and the surface tension at a given oxygen content remains almost constant, regardless of the chromium content. When the surface tension of liquid Fe-Cr-O alloys is plotted as a function of oxygen activity, with an increase in the chromium content, the surface tension shows a much steeper decrease with respect to oxygen activity. The surface tension of liquid Fe-Cr-O alloys at 1823 K is given as follows: σ=1842-279 ln (1+K O a O). Here, assuming a Langmuir-type adsorption isotherm, the adsorption coefficient of oxygen, K O(Fe-Cr), as a function of chromium content, was shown to be K O=140+4.2 × [wt pct Cr]+1.14 × [wt pct Cr]2.
