Measurement of the Activity of Boron in Liquid Copper using a FourPhase Equilibrium Technique K.T. JACOB, SHASHANK PRIYA, and YOSHIO WASEDA Boron can be used to deoxidize liquid copper. It can be added as a Cu-B master alloy or as tetraboron carbide (B41xC). Presence of boron as a minor element is known to increase the resistance of copper alloys to corrosive wear. Despite potential application in the metallurgy of copper, there is no reliable experimental information on either the activity of boron in liquid copper or of its effect on the behavior of dissolved oxygen. The phase diagram of Cu-B system is of simple eutectic type characterized by eutectic temperature of 1286 K and eutectic composition XB 5 0.133.[1] Phase diagram literature has been reviewed by Chakrabarti and Laughlin.[1] There is some uncertainty in the reported values for the eutectic temperature and composition.
