A tundish impact pad (1: 20: 40: 60) formed from refractory material comprising a base (2: 22: 42: 62) having an impact surface which, in use, faces upwardly against a stream of molten metal entering a tundish, a wall (4: 23: 43: 63) extending upwardly from the base around at least a part of the periphery of the impact surface, one or more portions of the upper part of the wall supporting one or more overhangs (5: 24: 44: 64) which project inwardly over the periphery of the base. The width of the or each overhang increases in both directions away from its centre/top, or has a minimum width at one end thereof and a maximum width at the opposite end thereof. |
