METALLURGICAL VESSEL COMPRISING A TAPPING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE CONTROLLED, SLAG-FREE EXTRACTION OF MOLTEN METAL FROM SAID VESSEL

摘要

The invention relates to a metallurgical vessel (1) comprising a tapping device (5) for the slag-free extraction of molten metal (3) from a molten metal bath (3) located in said vessel (1). According to the invention, a first limb (11) of a discharge channel (10) penetrates the fireproof vessel wall (15), and an overflow edge (14) which is located in the area where both limbs (11, 12) of the discharge channel (10) connect is arranged higher than the upper edge (18) of the entry opening (17) of the discharge channel. The molten metal (3) can be heated in the discharge channel (10) in a preferably inductive manner.
