Containers for molten metal |
(57) Containers for molten metal having a permanent refractory lining and a molten metal
contacting inner lining have in at least one place, separating the permanent and inner
linings a layer substantially consisting of heat-carbonisable sheet material. The
sheet material carbonises during use to yield a carbonaceous parting layer which facilitates
removal of skull and the inner lining without damage to the permanent lining.
