Density of Liquid IF Steel Containing Ti

Abstract

Density of liquid IF Steel containing Ti was measured with the modified sessile drop method at a temperature range from 1530 to 1610°C. Densities of pure molten Fe measured at a temperature range between 1550°C and 1600°C were quite close to those obtained by Saito et al., but a little lower than their results at temperature higher than 1600°C. Thermal expansion coefficient of molten IF steel containing Ti increased linearly with an increase in titanium content. The density of the liquid IF steel was described as a function of the temperature and Ti content as follows:
ρ=7.05-4.73×10^-2[%Ti]-(1.05+0.66[%Ti])×10^-3(T-1530)
