A higher-basicity mold flux (binary basicity 1.74) for peritectic grades showed similar solidification behavior to conventional high-basicity fluxes. Upon solidification of the mold flux onto a water-cooled copper probe, interfacial roughness at the copper-mold flux interface developed, while the film was glassy. Cuspidine was the major crystalline phase (as for conventional fluxes), but with a lathlike shape, containing some aluminum.
