This paper deals with the mathematical modeling of physicochemical properties of mold slag such as: viscosity, surface tension, temperature liquidus, basicity. Computer simulation of slag viscosity was made by the Nakamoto structural model. The effect of addition CaF2 to the mold slag was estimated by using of Urbain model. The results were compared with the results of the experiment. Surface tension for the basic slag composition: CaO - SiO2 - Al2O3 was calculated with using Nakamoto model.

... results of calculations indicate that the content of the SiO2 lowers the surface tension, but increase the content of CaO and Al2O3 in the slag increases its value. Calcium fluoride (CaF2) reduces the viscosity of the slag. The increase in temperature reduces the viscosity of the slag, simultaneously increasing the surface tension.
