3. Metal-silk balances
As the slag's composition enables it to control exchanges with the metal, it is necessary to be able to act on the available parameters in such a way as to shift a valuable element towards the metal or, conversely, a deleterious element towards the slag.
Similarly, if the composition of a molten metal is adjusted using additives, we need to be sure that the added elements will not find their way, at least in part, into the slag.

The partition coefficient of an element M, between metal and slag, is generally defined by :
