Steel ladles, also known as steel ladles, steel buckets, and large ladles, are important thermal equipment in steel mills. They are mainly composed of a shell, a refractory lining, and a sliding nozzle mechanism. Steel ladles are used for refining steel and other processes. The condition of the steel ladle lining directly affects steel production, and it is necessary to reduce refractory material consumption and cost per ton of steel and improve the thermal turnover rate.

Permeable Brick Used in the steelmaking process in a ladle, it has a certain lifespan, while the ladle itself also has a lifespan limit. The ladle, also known as a steel ladle, steel bucket, and large container, is an important thermal equipment for steelmakers, mainly composed of a shell, inner lining refractory materials, and a sliding nozzle mechanism. The ladle is used for refining steel. The condition of the ladle lining directly affects the steel output, so under the premise of ensuring safe use, the continuous improvement of the ladle's lifespan is required, reducing the refractory materials consumption and cost per ton of steel, and improving the heat turnover rate.

The ladle lining can be divided into a working layer, a permanent layer, a slag line layer, and a heat insulation layer. Considering both heat preservation and steel penetration, high-alumina castables are used for the permanent layer material. To enhance its heat preservation performance, a layer of mullite lightweight bricks is built between the high-alumina castable and the steel shell.

The working layer at the bottom of the ladle bears the impact of molten steel and considerable hydrostatic pressure, and corundum castables are used. Magnesia-carbon bricks are built around the permeable bricks and nozzle bricks for easy disassembly and repair and to prevent excessive expansion. During refining, the working layer of the ladle wall is subjected to carbon absorption, rolling and scouring by the molten steel, and erosion by the slag. This part should have good erosion resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance, and corundum castables are selected. Slag line position construction Magnesia-carbon bricks , It requires strong oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance.
