Abstract
The nitrogen solubility in liquid Fe-Ta, Fe-Cr-Ta, Fe-Ni-Ta, and Fe-18 pet Cr-8 pet Ni-Ta alloys was measured using the Sieverts’ method. The experiments covered the temperature range from 1782 to 2031 K, and tantalum contents from 2.0 to 20.0 wt pct Ta. Nitrogen solution obeyed Sieverts’ law and no nitride precipitation was observed in this concentration range. Tantalum increases the nitrogen solubility and the heat of solution of nitrogen is more negative at higher tantalum contents in these alloys. The excess enthalpy and entropy of solution of nitrogen were determined. The first and second order interaction parameters between nitrogen and tantalum were determined as a function of temperature, e TaN = -101.7/T + 0.018 and e TaTaN = -3.27/T + 0.0022. The effects of alloying elements on the activity coefficient of nitrogen were measured and the second order cross-interaction parameters between nitrogen and Ta with Cr and Ni were determined at 1873 K as e CrTaN = 0.00052 and e NiTaN = 0.00045.
