摘要:
A hot top lining for use in casting metal ingots is positioned in the mouth of the mould or in a head box at the top of the mould and comprises a plurality of refractory, heat-insulating lining slabs at least one of which has, at its outward-facing surface and adjacent to its lower edge, at least two ribs extending horizontally across the slab to inhibit upward flow of molten metal behind the slab. The ribbed slabs themselves form a part of the invention.

Zircon-containing bodies of very high density and resistance to thermal shock can be made by firing a mixture of comminuted plasma dissociated zircon and an alkaline earth metal oxide and/or transition metal oxide.
摘要:
A molten metal container, e.g. a tundish, consists of an outer metal casing, usually a relatively permanent refractory lining and an inner expendable lining of refractory heat-insulating slabs, behind which slabs is a loose fill of particulate refractory material. In order that the loose fill material does not pass through the joints between the slabs, leaf-seals are provided at the joints between the slabs.

INGOT MOULD HOT TOP SLABS ARE ADHERED IN PLACE VIA A SOFT, DIFFICULTLY FLAMMABLE, DEFORMABLE LAYER BETWEEN THE SLABS AND THE MOULD WALL, WHICH ACTS TO MATCH THE CONTOURS TOGETHER AND TO TAKE UP IRREGULARITIES. THE SOFT LAYER IS ADHERED TO THE MOULD WALL VIA A LAYER OF ADHESIVE.
摘要:
Ingot mold head boxes may be lined by inserting a first former therein, to leave an annular gap between itself and the head box, placing hot-topping composition in the gap, and by passing a second former into the gap, and thereby squeezing the hot-topping material onto and against the head-box walls. The two formers are then removed.
摘要:
A substantially planar slab has two opposite edges castellated in such fashion that two such slabs may be interengaged with the slabs in the same plane with the castellations of one edge of one slab interfitting the castellations on the other edge of the other slab. The sides of the castellations are inclined in a direction not normal to the plane of a major face of the slab. Such slabs are useful for lining containers for molten metal, and when forming such a lining all joint faces of the interengaging castellations not lying in vertical planes can be arranged to slope downwardly away from the interior of the molten metal container. The thickness of the slabs, the angle of the castellations, the period of the castellations and the inclination of the slabs can be so chosen relative to the angle of repose of a loose fill of refractory material under the slabs that the loose fill particulate refractory material does not penetrate the joints between adjacent slabs.
