Thermodynamics of Oxygen and Carbon dissolved in molten steel?

01 January 2014 0 2K Report

We have Oxygen and Carbon dissolved in molten steel. Concentrations are known to us, supposedly 400 and 300 ppm receptively. under a vacuum of 1 mbar and temperature of 1500. What would be the equilibrium concentration of each element?

The reaction is C+1/2O2 = CO.

Ni refining effect in aluminum alloys?

I have added 5 wt. % Ni to an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy and it has resulted in finer Al-Mg-Zn2 eutectic structure. It did not effect eutectic morphology, only eutectic spacing were reduced. Any thoughts?
