Conclusions A variety of refractories were subjected to testing in the slide gate of a 3-ton ladle. Nonoxygenous refractories are unsuitable for steel casting either because their thermal conductivity is too high or because they are not strong enough. Oxygen-containing materials developed cracks during the pouring operation so that they could be used only once. The refractories recommended for testing in a large-capacity ladle were periclase. corundum, and zircon types. The best results were obtained with periclase plates which permitted an entire melt to be poured within 1.5 h, during which the jet of molten steel was shut off 23 times.
