Characterization of the formation of slag rims of mold powder during hypo-peritectic steel continuous casting based on full-sectional microstructures

Key Points

• The formation of slag rims occurs during the continuous casting of hypo-peritectic steel, impacting product quality.
• Full-sectional microstructures analysis shows key features related to slag behavior in the casting environment.
• Observation of slag rim formation provides insights into materials used and their interactions during solidification.
• Understanding these microstructural developments may enable improvements in continuous casting techniques.
