description For the purpose of determining the interaction parameters between Mn and Al, and the influence of Mn on Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> inclusions formation in the Fe-Mn-Al-O melts with high Mn and Al contents, three groups of Fe-Mn-Al-O melts with the initial Al content of 3, 5, and 7 mass% and different Mn contents were equilibrated with pure solid Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> in an Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> crucible at 1873 K and Ar-H<sub>2</sub> atmosphere. Then, the interaction parameters between Mn and Al were deduced using the WIPF (Wagner’s Interaction Parameter Formalism) and the R-K polynomial (Redlich-Kister type polynomial), respectively. From the WIPF, the first- and second-order interaction parameters, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msubsup><mi>e</mi><mrow><mi>Al</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>Mn</mi></mrow></msubsup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msubsup><mi>r</mi><mrow><mi>Al</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>Mn</mi></mrow></msubsup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, were determined to be 0.0292 and −0.00016, respectively.

The applicability of the WIPF to high Mn and Al content Fe-Mn-Al-O melts was investigated by comparing the Al activity calculated by the WIPF and the R-K polynomial using the obtained data. The results showed that WIPF can be used in high Mn and Al content melts in the current concentration range. Further from the iso-activity contours of Al, the activity of Al increases with increasing Al or Mn content. Finally, the thermodynamic calculations show that the addition of Mn decreases the equilibrium O content at the same Al content, making the formation of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> inclusions easier.
