The invention relates to an insert for vessels or conduits containing molten metal and is particularly useful for continuous casting ingot moulds for steel. The insert (20) is annular and fits into a corresponding recess in the inner surface of the vessel or mould (10) in the region where the molten metal solidifies and fits to provide a flush aligned inner surface (21) of the vessel. The insert is of high melting point and of a material which provides a high wetting angle with molten steel and slag. |
