In order to develop mold powder for high speed slab type continuous casting, the viscosity of molten flux and the melting rate are investigated. The results can be summarized as follows, (1 ) Theviscosityofmolten flux isestimated fromthe equation as a function ofthe anion cation interaction parameter and the network parameter. (2) The melting rate is estimated from the equation as a function of carbon content per unit volume and carbonate content. (3) The improved mold powder was successful at a speed of 5m/min.
