Features: This book is a textbook for the Metallurgical Engineering program in higher education institutions, covering courses such as Metallurgical Thermodynamics and Kinetics or Principles of Metallurgy. The book consists of 8 chapters: "Fundamentals of Metallurgical Thermodynamics," "Fundamentals of Metallurgical Kinetics," "Metal Melts," "Metallurgical Slags," "Formation-Decomposition and Combustion Reactions of Compounds," "Oxide Reduction Smelting Reactions," "Oxidation Smelting Reactions," and "Secondary Refining Reactions of Molten Slags." The appendix includes derivations of complex formulas, a table of standard Gibbs free energy of compound formation, and answers to exercises. The book emphasizes the fundamental theories of iron and steel metallurgy and strives to apply these theories to the analysis of reactions in iron and steel metallurgical processes. In addition to serving as a textbook for metallurgical engineering programs, it is also suitable for metallurgical engineering technicians and researchers studying metallurgical process theories.
