Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of chromium have been determined in the Ni-Cr and Fe-Cr binary systems and in the Fe-corner of the Fe-Ni-Cr system. These properties are based on experimental measurements using solid oxide electrolyte cells of the type: Cr, Cr2O3 I ThO2-Y2O3Cr (alloy), Cr2O3. In the Ni-Cr system, between 900 and 1300°, the activity of chromium exhibits negative deviation from ideality up to about 25 at. pct chromium. For alloys higher in chromium content, the activity of chromium exhibits positive deviation from ideality. In the Fe-Cr system, between 900 and 1200°, and 0 and 63 at. pct Cr, the chromium activity when referred to solid pure chromium exhibits positive deviation from ideality in both the γ and α phases, approaching ideality with increasing temperature. The nickel and iron activities in these two respective binary systems were calculated by a Gibbs-Duhem integration. The activity of chromium, referred to solid pure chromium, was measured between 900 and 1200° in solid Fe-Ni-Cr alloys with chromium concentrations of 9, 20, and 30 at. pct and Ni concentrations of 8, 18, and 30 at. pct. Additions of nickel to Fe-Cr alloys in the above concentration range are found to increase the chromium activity. The effect of nickel in increasing the chromium activity is greater at both greater chromium contents and lower temperatures.
