The Liquidus Temperatures of Steels

We checked the results of 32 empirical equations for calculating the liquidus temperature on typical low alloyed and stainless steels. In addition, the voestalpine slide rule was used to determine the liquidus temperature and compared with the results of the formulas from the relevant literature.

The Solidus Temperatures of Steels

Based on our software, quasi-binary Fe-C phase diagrams for steels are generated quickly and easily. Although the Fe-C diagram is crucial, additional elements and cooling rates alter phase areas, which is vital for preventing cracking during continuous casting.
