The AlN solubility product in liquid iron containing manganese up to 22 mass% were measured by the metal-nitride-gas equilibration technique in the temperature range from 1823 to 1873 K. Manganese significantly increased the AlN solubility product in liquid iron primarily due to the large effect of manganese on the nitrogen solubility. Using the Wagner’s formalism, the experimental results were thermodynamically analyzed to determine the thermodynamic interaction parameters between manganese and aluminum in high Mn–Al alloyed liquid steels as follows;
