PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for heating a molten metal container for drying, pre-heating and restricting damage caused by oxidization of an inner lined refractory material at the time of starting its use. SOLUTION: A protection plate 5 is mounted at either a part of or an entire segment between an inner liner refractory material 3 of a molten metal container 1 after its building-up and a heating source 6, and there is provided a method for heating the molten metal container in which the refractory material is indirectly heated. It is preferable that as the refractory material, refractory material containing carbon is applied and it is desirable that as the protection plate, it is metallic material and its thickness is about 1 to 8 mm. |
