Abstract
Controlling the heat transfer rate from solidifying shell to copper mold is one of the important role of mold flux film during continuous casting of steels. It is highly desirable to regulate the thermal resistance of mold flux film not to exceed the critical quantity of mold heat transfer rate to prevent cast steel products from surface defects. In order to examine the effect of thermal radiation on the overall heat transfer rate through slag film in the continuous casting mold, the absorption coefficient has been investigated for various mold fluxes using a UV and an FT-IR spectrometer, followed by numerical calculations based on gray gas assumption. It is estimated that the heat transfer rate will decrease in 2-4% by addition of 3.2 mass% NiO into the conventional mold flux system with basicity (CaO/SiO2) of 1.07. As the increase of absorption coefficients will not be harmful to any casting performances such as friction in a casting mold, it is highly recommended to enhance the thermal radiative absorption behavior of mold slag film by optimizing the chemistry of mold fluxes, especially in the wavelength range of 1 to 3 µm at which the emitted energy intensity from steel shell will be maximized.
