Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2251443A1] A treatment ladle comprising a ladle shell containing a generally tubular refractory ladle liner, said ladle being pivotable between a horizontal position and a vertical position, said ladle liner having a first end and a second end with a continuous sidewall therebetween, an interior space being defined between said first and second ends and the continuous sidewall, said ladle liner additionally comprising a pocket for holding a treatment agent, said pocket being located adjacent the first end and in fluid communication with the interior space and located closer to the top than the bottom of the interior space when the ladle is in its horizontal position and closer to the bottom than the top of the interior space when the ladle is in its vertical position, and a spout for receiving and pouring molten metal located closer to the top than the bottom of the interior space when the ladle is in its horizontal and vertical positions, wherein in the horizontal position, a lower volume of the interior space defined below a plane midway between the top and bottom of the interior space and between the first end and a vertical plane intermediate the first and second ends is greater than an upper volume of the interior space defined above the midway plane and between the first end and said vertical plane. The treatment ladle is designed for the treatment of molten metal with vaporisable additives, in particular in the preparation of ductile iron. The invention also relates to a method of treating molten metal employing the ladle.
