Abstract
In this study CaF2 has been used to make a powder similar to the industrial powder. Moreover, TiO2, Na2CO3, MnO, and ZnO were used in the composition of mold powder to reduce or substitute CaF2. A groove viscometer was used to examine the viscosity of samples and XRD and SEM analyses were conducted to study the crystalline behavior of samples. Cuspidine phase was the main phase corresponding to the sample. White crystals were grown in the glass matrix and the existence of these crystals will result viscosity control and desired lubrication. So utilizing from MnO in amounts about 4 wt. % (other than the existing MnO in chemical composition of sample 4) along with F– in an approximate amount of 2 wt. %, a low fluorine sample was produced. This low fluorine sample can be a substitution for reference sample utilized in steel continuous casting industry. Ill. 6. Ref. 19. Tab. 2.
