説明

<p>The influence of La2O3 on the properties and structure of calcium-silicate-based mold flux for continuous casting La-bearing FeCrAl alloy was studied through employing rotating viscometer, SEM-EDS, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that the viscosity of mold fluxes decreased with the increase of La2O3 content from 0 mass% to 15 mass%. The apparent activation energy for viscous flow decreased from 108.56 ± 1.96 kJ/mol to 87.29 ± 7.29 kJ/mol with increasing La2O3. Deconvolution Raman analysis showed that with increasing La2O3, the mole fraction of Q3 units decreased, while that of Q0, Q1, and Q2 units increased. Furthermore, the values of NBO/Si increased from 1.27 to 1.83 with the increase of La2O3, which indicated that the degree of polymerization of melt structure was reduced and lead to the decrease of viscosity. During the cooling process, cuspidine (Ca4F2Si2O7) was the main crystalline phase in calcium-silicate-based mold fluxes. Nevertheless, when La2O3 was excessively added, a new phase of CaLa2(SiO4)2 was formed owing to the charge balance of Ca2+ and La3+ on the simple structural units Q0 ([SiO4]4−). Therefore, with increasing La2O3 can increase the break temperature and accelerate the formation of crystalline phases Ca4F2Si2O7 and CaLa2(SiO4)2 at high temperature.</p>
