abstract = "Cuspidine (3CaO·2SiO2·CaF2) is one of the most important compounds crystallized in mold flux films during casting in the continuous casting process of steel. The primary crystallization field of cuspidine has been experimentally developed in the CaO-SiO2-CaF2-SiF4 system. The cuspidine-NaF binary and cuspidine-CaF2-NaF ternary systems have been also experimentally determined to study effects of addition of NaF on the primary field of cuspidine. In order to discuss its thermodynamic stability the standard Gibbs energy of formation of cuspidine has been determined by an electromotive force method using CaF2 as solid electrolyte and a transpiration method as follows: ΔtG0(cuspidine)/kJmol-1 = -5198 + 0.825T (± 12) (1313<T/K<1329): EMF method ΔtG0(cuspidine)/kJmol-1 = -5178 + 0.813T (± 8) (1221<T/K<1469): Transpiration method The chemical potential diagram and constituent activities for the CaO-SiO2-CaF2 system have been evaluated based on the obtained thermodynamic data.",
