Diagram of the equilibrium phase composition of the Fe – Cr – Si – B system

Isothermal sections of the phase composition diagram of the Fe – Si – Cr – B system in the temperature range of 300 – 3 000 K with a step of 200 K are constructed. The diagram is shown at a temperature of 1 900 K, which is typical for silicochromium at the outlet from the furnace. A mathematical model of the diagram has been created in the form of a system of linear equations connecting the chemical composition of the metal with its phase. A computer program has been developed for the numerical calculation of the number of formed phases. Silicochromium with 0,3 – 0,5 % boron is located in the crystallization field CrSi2 – Si – SiB4 – FeSi
