Draw the Alkamade lines and label the
ternary eutectic and non-eutectic points in
the diagram. Indicate the directions in
which the boundary curves slope around the
ternary eutectic points.
 Probleem 3:
Gebruik die Fe-O fasediagram om die
volgende vrae te beantwoord:
a) Watter fase(s) sal by ewewig bestaan
indien u hematiet tot by 1200°C in ‘n
atmosfeer met ‘n Po2 van 10-10 atm.
verhit? Verduidelik.
b) Wat sal die ewewigs-Po2 in ‘n
geslote sisteem, bestaande uit ‘n
mengsel van hematiet en magnetiet,
wees indien die sisteem by 1100°C
geëkwilibreer word? Verduidelik.
c) Gestel u verhit ‘n hematiet-monster
in lug vanaf kamertemperatuur tot by
1450°C. Beskryf in detail die gedrag
van die monster, indien aangeneem
word dat ewewig ten alle tye
gehandhaaf word.
d) Beskryf die pad van
ewewigsverhitting van ‘n 59
massa% FeO – 41 massa% Fe2O3
mengsel wat onder kondisies van
konstante samestelling verhit word.
e) Beskryf die ewewig-stollingsver-
loop (vanaf 1600°C tot
kamertemperatuur) vir ‘n mengsel
van 90 masss% FeO - 10 massa%
Fe2O3 wat onder ‘n konstante Po2
van 10-7 atm. afgekoel word.
Problem 3:
Use the Fe-O phase diagram to answer
the following questions:
a) If you heat a sample of hematite up
to 1200°C in an atmosphere with a
Po2 of 10-10 atm., which phase(s)
would exist at equilibrium? Explain.
b) If you heat a mixture of hematite and
magnetite in a closed container at
1100°C until equilibrium is reached,
what will the equilibrium Po2 be?
Explain.
c) If you heat a sample of hematite in
air from room temperature to
1450°C, describe in detail how the
sample will behave if equilibrium is
maintained at all temperatures.
d) Derive the path of equilibrium
heating for a mixture which contains
59 mass% FeO and 41 mass% Fe2O3,
and is heated under conditions of
constant composition.
e) Derive the path of equilibrium
crystallization (from 1600°C to room
temperature) for a mixture which
contains 90 mass% FeO and 10
mass% Fe2O3, under conditions of a
constant oxygen partial pressure of
10-7 atm.
