Abstract
The kinetic study of the nitrogen dissolution was investigated. An isotope exchange technique is employed as a method for measuring the rate of nitrogen dissolution into the molten steel and the effects of O, S, C, Mn, and B addition on surface reaction have been considered at 1873 K. Experimental result shows nitrogen dissolution is first order reaction with regard to the partial pressure of nitrogen and rate constant on bare surface of the liquid metal, k0 is 3.49 Õ 10-5 (mol/cm2.satm). It seems that the rate determining step is the dissociation reaction with nitrogen gas adsorption. The adsorption coefficients are calculated to be KO = 300, KS = 130, KMn = -0.26, and KB = 0.9.
