What Is Ladle Refractory Material?
Ladle refractory materials are key materials used in the steelmaking process to protect the ladle lining and withstand the erosion of high-temperature molten steel and slag. As the main container for holding and transporting molten steel (from converter/electric furnace to continuous casting tundish), the refractory materials of the ladle need to remain stable under extreme thermodynamic and chemical conditions, while adapting to frequent molten steel impact, temperature changes and violent reactions at the slag-steel interface. The following are the key components, performance requirements and technical challenges of ladle refractory materials。
