In order to develop of mold powder for high speed slab type continuous
casting, viscosity of molten flux and melting rate are investigated.
The results can be summarized as follows; 1) Viscosity of molten flux
is estimated from the equation as a function of anion cation interacti
on parameter and network parameter. 2) Melting rate is estimated from
the equation as a function of carbon content per unit volume and carbo
nate content. 3) The improved mold powder succeeded in casting at 5m/m
in speed.
