Investigation of the mold powder film structure and its influence on the developed surface in continuous casting

Аннотация

In the continuous casting of steel, samples of the of the mold flux films are taken from the mold. The mineralogical composition of the crystalline, intercrystalline, and amorphous phases is determined. The influence of the morphology of the cuspidine crystals on the surface macrogeometry of the film is established. The frictional coefficient between a copper counterbody and the mold flux film surface is determined. The wear of the counterbody is greater on interaction with the crystalline surface.
