With Saunders [95Sau] assessment of the Ni-Ti binary there is better agreement for<br />

Dumitrescu's value for TiC, Fig.17.<br />

5.4 The Fe-Ti-C system<br />

For Fe-Ti-C Jonsson [97Jon] obtained excellent agreement but we wanted to use the<br />

new description of TiC from Dumitrescu's assessment of Ti-C. It will now be<br />

demonstrated that introduction of the reassessment of the Fe-Ti system by Saunders<br />

[97Sau] compensates for the less negative value of A f "H and the agreement is still<br />

excellent.<br />

There is an isoactivity line for Ti in L and also information on the point L/graphite +<br />

TiC. Fig. 18 and Fig. 19 show that the same good fit can be obtained with Saunders'<br />

Fe-Ti and Dumitrescu's Ti-C if the ternary interaction for the L phase is reassessed.<br />

Recent reports on the solubility in fcc-Fe [92Bal] are also well described with<br />

Dumitrescu's choice, see Fig. 20. Here the ternary parameter is of some but less<br />

importance.<br />

There are also several expressions for the solubility product of TiC in fcc-Fe,<br />

[75Nar], [850ht], [67Irv], [65Chi] and [74Wil], see Table II. When interpreting them,<br />

one should realize that the solubility curve is not quite hyperbolic in this case because<br />

the solubility of TiC is much higher than of TiN. However, below x c =0.01<br />

(m%C=0.2) it is fairly hyperbolic, see Fig. 20, and the expressions probably refer to<br />

such low C contents. A comparison is given in Table II. These expressions agree<br />

reasonably well with Ohtani's [850th] values which were considered in Fig. 20 and<br />

the assessments by Jonsson [96bJon] and by Dumitrescu [97Dum] are in close<br />

agreement with Ohtami's values.<br />

Table I. Solubility product of TiN in fcc-Fe<br />

The solubilities are low and the product should thus be reasonably constant at<br />

each temperature. With log(m%Tim%N)=A-B/T one has reported<br />
