The thermal physical properties of molten iron are largely depending on the carbon content, which determines the strength, the hardness and the wear resistance of the final steel products. Therefore, it is paramount to understand the interactions of the carbon molecules of the molten iron, and its influence on the macroscopic thermal physical properties. A number of experiments1–4) have been performed to measure the thermal physical properties of the carbon in molten iron. Jimbo et al.1) measured the density of the liquid Fe–C alloys at a temperature range from 1 250°C to 1 550°C. Richardson et al.2) measured the energy of interaction between carbon atoms when carbon dissolved in molten iron between 1 560°C and 1 760°C. Lee et al.3) suggested that the effect of the carbon on the surface tension of the Fe–C–S alloy was indicated to be obvious when the Sulphur content is less than 0.005%. Despite these findings, the interactions between the carbon and the molten iron at the molecule level remains poorly understood with limited theoretical and experimental advancements. Recent advancement of the molecular dynamics modelling tools has enabled the investigation of micro-macro transitional characteristics during metallurgical process. Utilization of such method is able to predict the heat and mass transfer between molecules,5) as well as to examine the localized atomic structural changes, including the chemistry and topology.6,7) A study conducted previously by present authors on molecular dynamics modelling of pure molten Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Carbon Effect on the Thermal Physical Properties of the Molten Iron
