Equilibrium between CaO-Al2O3-TiOx or BaO-Al2O3-TiOx slags and a liquid Fe-20 mass%Cr alloy with respect to oxygen and nitrogen was studied at 1873 K as a function of Ti (or Al) content in alloys, using an Al2O3 crucible. The Al-O and Ti-Al relations in liquid alloy were studied, and nitride capacity defined by CN=(mass%N)·PO23/4/PN21/2 was obtained from nitrogen distribution ratios, coupled with the analyzed oxygen content in liquid alloy or the PO2 determined by Ti/TiO2 equilibrium. Based on these results, activity of Al2O3 and activity coefficients of TiO2, TiO1.5 and CrO1.5 were evaluated.
