Thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibria in a liquid metal of Fe–La–Ce–O system at 1600 °С, using the technique of constructing the solubility surfaces for the components of a metal, was carried out. The calculation technique allowed assessing the depth of liquid iron de-oxidation at a complex use of lanthanum and cerium as deoxidizing agents. Also, diagrams of de-oxidants’ consumption for one ton of liquid oxygen-containing iron were calculated in the course of the work. Carrying out a calculation of the solubility surfaces for the components of a metal required simulation of phase diagrams of the following oxide systems: FeO–La2O3–Ce2O3, FeO–CeO2–La2O3, CeO2–La2O3–Ce2O3. The obtained results might be of interest for optimization of the use of rare-earth metals in steelmaking technology.

Fusibility curves of FeO–La2O3–Al2O3, FeO–Ce2O3–Al2O3, La2O3– Ce2O3–Al2O3 oxide systems are created based on the literature data and modern thermodynamic theories of oxide and metal melts. Admitting the oxide systems conjugation with the area of metal melts existence, we define oxide phases, which can maintain the equilibrium with metal melts of Fe–Ce–Al–O, Fe–La–Ce–Al–O systems. The surfaces of component solubility are created for above mentioned metal melts. For Fe–Ce–Al–O system it is established that the following phases can be at equilibrium with metal: Al2O3, Сe2O3, FeO∙Al2O3, Сe2O3∙11Al2O3, Сe2O3∙Al2O3, and the oxide melt (FeO, Al2O3, Сe2O3, СeO2). For Fe–La–Ce–Al–O system the following oxide phases can be at equilibrium with the liquid metal: La2O3, Al2O3, Сe2O3, La2O3∙Al2O3, Сe2O3∙11Al2O3, Сe2O3∙Al2O3, and the oxide melt (FeO, La2O3, Al2O3, Сe2O3, СeO2). Diagrams of active components consumption, which are used to establish the possibility of chosen equilibrium, are created for iron deoxidation with cerium and aluminium as well as with Ce and La at fixed Al content (0.01 wt. %).

Each time about 2000 kg of liquid metal was modified. The REM was in the form of mishmetal of the composition 49, 8% Ce, 21, 8% La, 17, 1% Nd, 5, 5% Pr and 5, 35% the rest of REM. Therareearth metals were put into the ladle during tapping of heat melt from the furnace.
