“…For example, for the calculation of the silicon deoxidation equilibria in alloyed steel including molybdenum, it is necessary to know the interaction parameter of molybdenum for silicon, of which a very large positive value is previously reported. 1,2) When the silicon deoxidation equilibria for the alloyed steel are calculated using the value in the literature, the oxygen content of molten iron remarkably decreases with the increase in the molybdenum content. On the other hand, in practical operation, the remarkable decrease of the oxygen content has not been found.…”
