Abstract
The electrical conductivity of mould flux with chemical constitution of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-NaO-K2O-MgO-CaF2-Cr2O3-FeO-MnO has been investigated. The assessed database contains one unitary, five binary, nine ternary, four quaternary, two quinary, two senary and one octonary subsystems. Each constitutional component is in connection to another via some direct or indirect links. A multilayer artificial neural network method was developed and implemented to the database. The work provides a method to calculate the relationships between the composition, temperature and electrical property of the mould flux within the defined parameter ranges. The results have been validated against those experimental data that are not included in the training of the neural networks.
