Abstract Slag-metal reactions for iron-tungsten melts under CO·CO₂ gas atmosphere are investigated at 1,650℃ and 1,750℃. When Pco/Pco₂ is more than 5.0, slag-metal distributions of tungsten, [W]/(WO₃), can be determined by the following reaction equilibriclm. (WO₃)+3[Fe]=[W]+3(FeO) log K_f=-22,300/T+10.66 The equilibrium constant, K_f, for the slag-metal reaction slightly decreases when Pco/Pco₂ is less than 3.3 at 1,650℃, and suddenly decreases below Pco/Pco₂=5.0 at 1,750℃. (FeO) contents of slag phase increase, as Pco/Pco₂ decrease according to the following reaction, [Fe]+CO₂=(FeO)+CO, An estimation for slag-metal reactions on open melting is as follows; (WO₃)+2.5[Fe]=[W]+2.5(FeO_(1.2)) log K_i=-14,288/T+6.31
