Rate of molybdenum solution in carbon-saturated liquid iron

Abstract

The rate of solution of molybdenum in molten iron saturated with carbon was studied by rotating cylindrical molybdenum specimens in a stationary graphite crucible containing the iron-base melt. Weight changes were used to determine the solution rate in the temperature range 1315° to 1425°C. Theoretical and experimental correlations of the solution rate coefficient are compared. Molybdenum diffusion in the liquid phase is shown to be rate limiting.
