Özet

In this study, the 3 dimensional description of the quaternary subsolidus slag system alumina-silica-calcia-magnesia is evaluated using Mathematica programming based on previous experimental research data. The lever rule in the tetrahedra is then applied for a given arbitrary liquid composition A% + %B + %C + %D = 100 in order to calculate the solid phases present (neglecting solid solutions) with their relative proportions after the solidification is completed. A novel transformation and algorithm are then developed using simple geometry and MathLab programming which can also be used for other subsolidus systems in case appropriate data are provided.
