Abstract
The nitrogen solubility in liquid Fe-Cr-Ni alloys containing Mo or Mn was determined by the Sieverts’ method. The first and second order mutual interactions among nitrogen, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and manganese in iron were determined as a function of temperature. The heat and entropy of solution in these alloys were correlated as functions of the logarithm of the activity coefficient of nitrogen at 1873 K independent of the composition of the alloys. An equation was derived to predict the nitrogen solubility in liquid multicomponent iron alloys for the range from logJn, 1873K = 0 to −1.4 as, log(wt pct N)T = (-247/T-1.22)-(4780/T-1.51) (logf N, 1873K)- (1760/T-0.91) (logfN,1873K)2.
