The function of steel ladle is to continue the molten steel of upstream steel furnace, which delivered the molten steel to external refining equipment or the scene of casting steel. Steel ladle not only has the division between die cast steel ladle and continuous steel ladle, also have the division between electric furnace ladle and converter ladle.

Die Cast Steel Ladle

Die casting ladle is a container which catches the molten steel coming from the furnace and then transfers it directly to the foundry to cast ingots.  With the development of  refractory material technology. At present, the steel ladles made by high alumina brick and clay brick are basically eliminated.   Instead of this, Whole package of aluminum magnesium pouring and Aluminum magnesia carbon brick steel ladle are adopted.

Electric Furnace Steel ladle

Generally speaking, the speed of electric steelmaking is relatively slow, particular small electric furnace steel plant in domestic, the steel output is small, which cause the steel ladle using and stopping. The temperature fluctuation of hot lining is large. A higher requirement for cracks and spalling caused by thermal shock resistance of lining is put forward.      Generally, the magnesia alumina carbon brick with good thermal shock resistance as the ladle lining, owing to carbon brick with high thermal conductivity, heat dissipation easily lower the temperature of steel ladle, therefore, good effect heat insulation refractory material should be used in permanent layer , and steel ladle is best covered with heat preservation.
