Effects of Li2O on Structure and Viscosity of CaO-Al2O3-Based Mold Fluxes by Lifeng Chen, Kun Liu, Peng Han, Bin Yang, Lianghua Feng

“…Viscosity test shows that CaO/Al2O3 = 0.88–2 continuously increased, when the cosolvent content Li2O = 1%–4%, CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux viscosity decreased, the degree of network structure polymerization decreased, and the complex structure depolymerized. Increasing the water content in the cosolvent is beneficial to reduce the viscosity of the crystallizer.…”
