Abstract:In order to study the compatibility of mold fluxes for casting high carbon steel in the process of continuous casting, the melting, wettability, viscosity, phase distribution and heat transfer ability of typical mold fluxes for casting high carbon steel have been investigated. The results show that the ranges of the initial melting temperature, wetting angle, viscosity, breaking temperature and liquid layer ratio of the four mold fluxes are 1 110-1 129 ℃, 30.1°-37.8°, 0.210-0.312 Pa·s, 1 046-1 130 ℃ and 14.7%~18.9%, respectively. Among these mold fluxes, mold flux 1 can melt very fast to form liquid slag, and infiltrate the gap between mold wall and shell to form even slag film, since its melting temperature (1 110-1 345 ℃) and viscosity (0.264 Pa·s) are relatively low, liquid layer ratio (18.9%) is relatively high, and break temperature (1 059 ℃), as well as heat transfer ability are appropriate. These advantages can reduce the stick breakout and cracks, meanwhile smooth the high carbon steel continuous casting process.
