Abstract

See full text

Ladles used for vacuum refining processes, for example a VOD process, are provided with covers to cover openings of ladles. The covers generally consist of refractories, which are required to have excellent resistance to thermal spalling due to heat cycles and not inhibit decarbonization during refining processes of molten steel. The ladle cover comprises a refractory having a carbon content 5 wt % or more. Preferably, a refractory has a carbon content 5 wt % or more is used for a central section of the ladle cover, and a refractory having a carbon content less than 5 wt % is used for peripheral sections of the ladle cover.
