Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The carbothermic production of a titanium-containing ferroalloy is subjected to thermodynamic modeling. The Ti–Al–Si–Fe–C–O system is studied using the HSC Chemistry software package. At a low quartzite content in a charge, stable carbide phases TiC and SiC are found to form and prevent metallic phase formation. An increase in the quartzite content to 10–15% is shown to suppresses carbide formation and to promote the formation of silicides TiSi, TiSi2, and Ti3Si3.
