Study on Mg-Y-Mishmetal-Zr Alloy Melt Reaction

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the means of thermodynamic calculation and alloy smelting, the reaction of Mg-Y-Mishmetal-Zr melt in the process of smelting is studied and the relevant thermodynamic data are obtained. The results show that when rare earth (RE) reacts with MgO to seize the oxygen, Y has the strongest capacity while La has the weakest capacity, and Y is most likely to be burned due to preventing melt oxidation. In the reaction of between RE and covering flux, relative to other elements, Ce is less likely to be burned while Y and La are more likely to be burned. The actual smelting result is consistent with the calculation.
