<p>Tundishes and ladles used in processing molten metals and alloys frequently contain both as permanent and disposable linings. The disposable lining acts as a thermal and chemical barrier to protect the permanent lining. However, the presence of alkali in the disposable lining results in a tendency to bond to the permanent lining making removal of the disposable lining difficult. The present invention provides a disposable lining material comprising: a basic refractory aggregate comprising magnesia, magnesite, olivine, doloma, dolomite, calcia, or mixtures thereof; and at least one density reducing material comprising hollow ceramic microspheres in an amount sufficient to reduce the density of the composition.</p> |
