Crystallization characteristics of B2O3 and TiO2-bearing glassy fluoride-free mold fluxes by Wang Z., Shu Q.-F., Chou K.-C.

“…To explore the effects of TiO2 and/or B2O3 on crystallization of the glassy fluoride-free slag film near the copper mould, the crystallization characteristics of glassy fluoride-free mold fluxes with fluoride being substituted by TiO2 and/or B2O3 were investigated using X- ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. The glass forming ability index (Kgl) of the glassy fluoride-free mold fluxes was studied using Hruby’s method. …”
