Abstract
The ladle is essential to the operation of a modern integrated iron and steel plant. It is a refractory lined vessel, typically holding 300 tonnes of liquid metal, which is used to transport iron or steel in molten form with a minimum heat loss and also to pour steel into moulds prior to solidification and further processing.
