abstract = "Mould powder is essential for the reliable operation of the continuous casting system and the quality
of the cast steel. The very responsible roles of mould powder are fulfilled by selecting combinations
of components that affect physicochemical properties of the resulting liquid slag, which lubricate the
walls among the crystallizer and slab. The contribution of mould powder refers to the range of
melting temperature and speed and the viscosity of glassy or crystalline slag and formation
temperature. These connections are the research subject in this paper, emphasizing the functional
dependence of viscosity and liquidus temperature of mould powder with its material composition.
This research investigates the impact of basicity, alkali oxides (Na2O and K2O), and carbon-free
content on viscosity and liquidus temperature of mould powder in the continuous casting process.
The liquidus temperature of mould powder was obtained empirically after a year of experimental
examination, and viscosity was determined using several models. Based on experimental
investigation, we show empirical parameters for equitation of liquidus temperature of mould
powder. Also, using established equations, we presented isolines for viscosity and liquidus
temperature with experimental parameters.",
