Abstract

The deterioration of CaO-SiO₂ based mold flux caused by the reaction of steel -slag interface is a bottleneck restricting the high Mn-Al steel continuous casting production efficiently. Therefore, the development of low-reactivity mold flux has become a research hotspot. In this paper, the scheme of high Al₂O₃ and low SiO₂ was adopted to suppress or reduce the occurrence of steel-slag reaction. Drawing binary phase diagram of mold flux based on the CaO–Al₂O₃ composition, the influence of different solvents on the melting characteristics of the mold flux were investigated and the reasonable mass ratio of CaO/Al₂O₃and the content of SiO₂, SrO, MgO, Na₂O and B₂O₃ were determined. According to the viscosity and the melting temperature model calculation, the physical property is beneficial for the composition design of low-reactivity mold flux.
