Casting Powder is a crucial part for the casting which acts as a lubricant to flow the hot metal to solidification.
Casting powders significantly determine the stability of the continuous casting process of steel at all casting speeds.

• To protect liquid steel against oxidation.
• To provide lubrication for the solidifying steel.
• To control, optimize, and insulate the heat transfer from the liquid steel to the mould and the ambient in horizontal and vertical directions.
• To absorb the inclusions from the liquid steel to produce cleaner cast steel product.
• To provide chemical protection to the liquid steel from oxidation and other undesired reactions.

The high basicity of the mould powder increases its capability to assimilate non-metallic inclusions.
