Foundry ladles
Ladles are used in foundryindustry to transfer molten metal from one location to another, generally from a melting furnace to a holding furnace. They are often used to hold metal while it is treated by degassing and/or fluxing. They are filled by tapping out a furnace or utilizing a metal transfer pump. Most transfer ladles require supporting steel shells and are lined with refractory, which can be a precast shape or cast in place. Due to extreme conditions in which the refractory is subjected, it must be resistant to thermal shock, cracks and erosion.
