Nucleation and Ostwald Growth of Particles in Fe-O-Al-Ca Melt.


ABSTRACT: Tremendous focus has been put on the control of particle size distribution which effects the grain structure and mechanical properties of resulting metallic materials, and thus nucleation and growth of particles in solution should be clarified. This study uses classical nucleation theory and Ostwald ripening theory to probe the relationship between the compositions of Fe-O-Al-Ca melts and the behavior of particles under the condition of no external stirring. Our experimental data suggest that decreasing the initial Ca addition and Al addition is conductive to the increase of nucleation rate for calcium aluminate particles, which exhibits a same change trend with that predicted from classical nucleation theory. Based on the experimental evidence for particles size distribution in three-dimensional, we demonstrate that Ostwald ripening is the predominate mechanism on the coarsening of particles in Fe-O-Al-Ca melt at early stage of deoxidation under the condition of no external stirring but not at later stage.
