Abstract:Herein, the effect of a pulsed external field on the crystallinity of CaO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -based mold fluxes with different basicities during continuous cooling is investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope analysis. It is well known that an increase in basicity is advantageous for increasing the crystallinity of a mold flux, which relates closely to the horizontal heat transfer and lubrication during casting. However, this rule has changed under electrical pulse processing. In… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
