Abstract

A thermodynamic analysis of a crucible reaction, which takes place in crucible induction furnaces, has been represented. A new diagram of a crucible reaction, with due account for partial pressures and activities of the participating components, has been suggested. For the first time ever, the electrochemical mechanism of a crucible reaction has been studied; the research has confirmed the correctness of the suggested diagram.
