Abstract

The slag-metal reaction during the continuous casting of high Al steel changes the molten slag structure from silicon-oxygen to silicon-oxygen-aluminum network structure, greatly affecting the viscosity properties of mold flux. In order to reveal the internal mechanism of the viscosity change during slag-metal reaction, the molecular dynamics simulation was employed to monitor the microstructure evolution characteristics of molten slag under different Al2O3/SiO2. The results showed that Q3Al decrease from 25.48% to 22.26%, Q4Al and Q5Al increase from 68.82% and 1.70% to 71.26% and 2.88%, respectively with an increase of Al2O3/SiO2 from 0.1 to 1.2. The [AlO4]5- tetrahedral structure changed from low coordination to high coordination structure, the degree of polymerization increased, and the viscosity increased. The viscosity calculated by molecular dynamics is in good agreement with the experimental measurement. Finally, A dynamic link model between structural transformation and viscosity was innovatively established.
