Ladle Castable: a ladle used to pour molten metal into moulds to produce the casting. Transfer ladle: a ladle used to transfer a large amount of molten metal from one process to another. Ladle castables has to be resistant to erosion and impact due to metal pouring into the ladle. It needs as well to reduce the ladle patching and repair. Ladle castable is volume stable with good strength throughout its temperature range. Although originally designed for casting ladles, Ladle castable has proven to be a good, general-purpose, high temperature castable for a wide variety of applications.
Ladle Castable Advantages:
Ladle Castable is a high-performance monolithic refractory specially engineered for use in steel ladles, including the working lining, permanent lining, and back-up insulation layer. Made from high-purity raw materials such as tabular alumina, fused alumina, and low-calcium binders, this product offers excellent thermal shock resistance, high strength, and superior slag resistance, ensuring longer service life in demanding steelmaking environments.
In steelmaking and foundry operations, charge ladles play a critical role in the handling and transportation of molten metal from furnaces to casting molds. The effectiveness and longevity of these ladles depend significantly on the quality of the refractory materials used to line them. Castables, a type of refractory material applied in a liquid or paste form, are crucial for ensuring the efficient and reliable operation of charge ladles.
