Torpedo Ladle

Torpedo ladles transfer hot metal from the blast furnace to the steel plant and in some cases the liquid iron is treated in the ladle to remove impurities, such as S, Si and others.

Torpedo Ladle

Torpedo ladles transfer hot metal from the blast furnace to the steel plant and in some cases the liquid iron is treated in the ladle to remove impurities, such as S, Si and others. The refractory linings need to have thermal shock resistance, abrasion resistance, impact and corrosion resistance and if the lining is carbon-bonded, it needs to have oxidation resistance. Al SiC C bricks were developed to meet the more arduous conditions experienced in treated ladles. The use of this type of lining has also become more prevalent in untreated torpedo ladles, but fired and phosphate bonded mid and high alumina materials can also be used depending on plant operations. We work closely with our customers to supply a suitable range of gunning and castable materials to repair and extend the working lining life of a Torpedo Ladle.
