Thermodynamic and Electrochemical Principle of Metallurgy

Last Updated on May 15, 2020 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal 1 Comment

Thermodynamic Principles of Metallurgy Thermodynamic considerations are very important in metallurgical processes. These help in deciding the temperature and the choice of reducing agents in the reduction processes. The feasibility of a process can be predicted in terms of Gibbs energy change (ΔG) at any specified temperature. This is related to enthalpy change (ΔH) … [Read more...] about Thermodynamic and Electrochemical Principle of Metallurgy
