Mould flux was invented for bottom poured ingots using fly ash as raw material. It transited subsequently to synthetic raw materials. As continuous casting of steel developed, Fluxes in fine powder form evolved culminating to the development of environment friendly fluxes in granular form. As continuous casting of stainless steel commenced different powders were developed for different Stainless qualities like austenitic, ferritic etc. Powders developed from interface with users were not only to satisfy demand of lubrication in the mould but also for adequate heat transfer and better surface quality. Shrinkage in mould, interplay of the elements in steel during casting with mould slag, tendency of the steel grades towards cracking or sticking and influence of various casting parameters determined mould powder development and usage. In-mould Powder performance dynamically reacts to changes in casting parameters and conditions and appropriate changes in powder chemistry can overcome or minimise detrimental effects of such changes. Future demands of overall cost control, better surface quality, minimal grinding, stable meniscus will guide powder research and development alongwith focus on environmental concerns.

A heat transfer and solidification model of slab continuous casting process was developed, and the nail-shooting experiments were carried out to verify and improve the prediction accuracy. The comparison between the simulation and the measurements results showed that, there exists difference between the model predicted liquid core length and the calculated liquid core length according to the measurement results of the solidification shell thickness. In the present study, the value of constant a in the heat transfer coefficient calculation formula was corrected through back-calculation, results showed that, the suitable value of a is 31.650, 33.468 and 35.126 when the casting speed is 0.8m·min-1, 0.9m·min-1 and 1.0m·min-1 respectively, which can meet the liquid core length of the measurement results. The developed model built a foundation for the application of dynamic secondary cooling, and dynamic soft reduction.
