FeSiBa mould powder is a fine barium-bearing ferrosilicon powder used as a mould flux and slag conditioner in continuous casting, where it lubricates the strand, stabilises heat transfer and helps absorb inclusions.
Bright Alloys supplies it at 0-0.3 mm, 0-1 mm and 20-200 mesh, with Ba 1-2% and 2-3% for different casting speeds and steel grades.
The powder melts to form a lubricating slag film that stabilises heat transfer in the mould and reduces sticker alarms and surface defects.
FeSiBa additions adjust slag fluidity and deoxidise the steel bath, supporting inclusion removal ahead of the caster.
Outside steel plants the same fine grade is used to inoculate special cast irons where a fast-dissolving powder is required.
