Abstract Equilibria between Mn-Si melts and MnO-SiO2 slags were studied at 1673 K and 1773 K in MnO crucibles to accurately determine the thermodynamic property of the Mn-Si melts. The Unified Interaction Parameter Formalism (UIPF) was used to describe the thermodynamic property of the Mn-Si liquid. Using the UIPF, the experimental results obtained in the present study were thermodynamically analyzed to determine the activity coefficient of Si at infinite dilution and the 1st- and 2nd-order self-interaction parameters of Si in the Mn-Si melts.
