Method for selectively emptying a metallurgical vessel and vessel suitable for carrying out the method

摘要

To empty a metallurgical vessel (1), the latter possesses in the bottom region an emptying socket (5) in which a part of the vessel contents is caused to solidify, producing a plug (13). The emptying socket (5) closed in this way can be opened by the plug (13) being caused to melt. An induction heating means (15) associated with the emptying socket (5) is preferably used for this. <IMAGE>
