Abstract:CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux has showed great potential in solving reactivity problem for high-aluminum steel casting, but it still has problems such as strong crystallization ability and high melting temperature. Therefore, the influence of BaO on melting temperature, crystallization behavior and structure of CaO-Al2O3-CaF2-B2O3-Na2O-Li2O-MgO multiple slag systems were investigated. The results showed that the addition of BaO can reduce the softening temperature and melting temperature. As an increased BaO, the trend of this reduction decreases.Ca12Al14O33 and Ca3B2O6 2 phase precipitate into Ca12Al14O33、Ca3B2O6 and BaAl2O4 3 phase precipitate with the addition of Bao. The crystallization ability has been decreased as an increased BaO. Ba2+ has a strong electricity charge compensation effect on [AlO4]5-, so that [AlO4]5- can exist stably, and the Al-O network is more tightly combined. It is difficult for free O2- to enter the gap to destroy the bridge oxygen link, which leads to the slight increase of polymerization. This will reduce the atom diffusion ability, resulting in that the increase of crystallization kinetic barrier decreases the crystallization ability.
