Oxygen activities in Fe‐O‐Cr melts, equilibrated with chromium oxide, were determined as a function of chromium content by EMF measurements using ZrO 2 (CaO) plug‐type sensors with a Cr‐Cr 2 O 3 reference. Plug‐type sensors with or without Cr 2 O 3 saturator were used in the experiments. From the experimental results values for the activity coefficient f O and the interaction parameters and were evaluated. Raoultian chromium activity features a slight positive deviation from ideal solution behaviour in the temperature range from 1550 to 1650°C. Taking into account the calculated interaction parameters, the equilibrium constant K Cr‐O was redetermined at 1550 to 1650°C. In comparison with previous studies a better agreement was obtained with existing thermochemical data.
