Abstract
The invention relates to a fire-resistant ceramic gas sink which can be fitted into a wall or the base of a vessel for receiving a metal melt. The gas sink comprises at least one channel extending from the cold side of the gas sink to a hot side thereof. The channel is fluidically connected on the cold side thereof to a gas supply device enabling a treatment gas to be introduced via said canal into the metal melt.
Claims27
A refractory ceramic gas flushing brick for installation in a wall or a bottom of a vessel for receiving a molten metal, having the following features:
- a) at least one channel (16, 18) running from a cold side (12) to a hot side (14) of the gas flushing brick,
- b) the channel (16, 18) is fluidically connected to a gas supply device (34) on the cold side (12) of the gas flushing brick, via which a treatment gas may be conducted through the channel (16, 18) into the molten metal,
- c) at least one measuring device (38) for determining physical and/or chemical data of the molten metal, which neighbors the hot side (14) of the gas flushing brick after the gas flushing brick is installed in the vessel,
- d) a measuring head (40) of the measuring device (38) projects into the channel (16).
