ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring the condition of the stirring block and solid plug therein as incorporated in the normal refractory brick lining of a molten metal ladle to provide a structure through which gas can be introduced into the molten metal, the method utilizes heat sensors and/or Hall Effect transducers embedded in the stirring block and/or solid plug therein in connection with apparatus providing a warning of critical wear and/or erosion in the gas stirring devices by the molten metal in the ladle. An appropriately shaped stirring block provides for the positioning of some of the normal refractory brick lining of the ladle partially thereover so as to eliminate loosening or cracking of the stirring block and the undesirable escaping of molten metal from the ladle.
