面向钢液脱氧热力学精准预报的结构信息耦合模型

摘要: 准确预测Fe基熔体中的脱氧平衡是控制氧含量和实施夹杂物工程的重要基础。然而,传统热力学模型难以同时描述有限浓度效应以及液态合金中显著的短程有序作用。本文提出一种结构信息耦合方法(SICM),将统一相互作用参数形式(UIPF)与修正准化学模型(MQM)相结合。在该框架中,采用UIPF描述富Fe溶剂基体中的弱相互作用,采用MQM表征溶质元素与氧之间的强缔合作用;进一步引入成分依赖的配位数和二元混合焓,以确定原子配对顺序和耦合权重。采用1873 K下的193组实验数据对Fe–Al–O和Fe–Si–O体系进行验证,并将该方法进一步拓展至Fe–Cr–Al–O体系。结果表明,SICM对Fe–Al–O、Fe–Si–O和Fe–Cr–Al–O体系的平均绝对百分比误差分别为10.0%、6.2%和20.5%。与所评估的其他热力学模型相比,该方法对Fe–Al–O和Fe–Si–O体系的预测误差最低,对Fe–Cr–Al–O体系也具有相当的预测精度。此外,该方法能够再现1823–1973 K范围内脱氧平衡的温度依赖性,并从局部结构角度解释含Cr熔体中的竞争脱氧行为。研究表明,将结构信息引入耦合热力学框架,可以提高宽成分范围内Fe基熔体脱氧行为的描述与预测能力,为钢液精准脱氧控制和多元体系热力学建模提供基础。

 

A structure-informed coupled method for precision deoxidation thermodynamics in Fe-based melts

Abstract: Accurate prediction of deoxidation equilibria in Fe-based melts is essential for oxygen control and inclusion engineering, but remains difficult because conventional thermodynamic models are limited in describing both finite-concentration effects and strong short-range ordering in liquid alloys. In this work, a structure-informed coupled method (SICM) is developed by combining the unified interaction parameter formalism (UIPF) with the modified quasi-chemical model (MQM). In the proposed framework, weak interactions in the solvent-rich matrix are described by the UIPF, whereas strong solute-oxygen associations are represented by the MQM. Composition-dependent coordination numbers and binary mixing enthalpies are further introduced to define the atomic pairing sequence and coupling weights. The model is validated for the Fe–Al–O and Fe–Si–O systems using 193 experimental datasets at 1873 K and is further extended to the Fe–Cr–Al–O system. Compared with the evaluated thermodynamic models, the SICM gives the lowest prediction errors for the Fe–Al–O and Fe–Si–O systems and maintains comparable accuracy for the Fe–Cr–Al–O system, with mean absolute percentage errors of 10.0%, 6.2%, and 20.5%, respectively. The results indicate that incorporating structural information into a coupled thermodynamic framework improves the description of deoxidation behavior over a wide composition range.
