Rice Husk Ash for Ladle Insulation: How Grade, Particle Size and Application Method Affect Performance

Ladle temperature control is a critical part of steelmaking because molten steel passes through several stages between tapping, refining, holding and casting. During these stages, heat is continuously transferred from the molten steel to the ladle lining, slag layer and surrounding environment. A covering material applied over the exposed molten steel surface is one approach […]
