New Mold Slag Compositions for the Continuous Casting of Soft Steels

Several fluorine-free mold slag compositions have already been established in the literature. In all cases, formation of a crystalline phase exhibiting behavior similar to that cuspidine is emphasized control horizontal heat transfer without influencing lubrication performance for casting peritectic steel grades. contrast, soft steels, glassy solidification required. Herein, different involving selected oxides are developed with help FactSage calculations. Mixtures pure raw materials melted at 1673 K and quenched 295 K. It observed B2O3 increases glass-forming ability slags. To obtain phase, composition must satisfy conditions CaO + MgO Al 2 O 3 SiO < 0.9 ( ) 30 wt % . For TiO2 content <10 wt%, detected after quenching room temperature. However, this phenomenon-is not slags >15 wt%. Moreover, addition alumina alkali enhances crystallization. Based on these findings, promising designed characterized laboratory using furnace crystallization test, mineralogical investigations, single/double hot thermocouple technique. From investigated mixtures, three suggested use continuous processes.
