ABSTRACT:
A slag control body transfer and automatic release apparatus for carrying and releasing a slag control body and a molten metal receptacle adapted for subsequently guiding the slag control body are disclosed. The molten metal receptacle includes top and bottom end portions and an interior region therein, the bottom end portion including a discharge nozzle disposed therein for discharging molten metal from the interior region of the molten metal receptacle. A guiding opening is disposed in the top end portion for aligning the slag control body within the opening as the slag control body passes through the opening and subsequently falls into the interior region of the molten metal receptacle. The guiding opening is tapered inwardly in a direction from the top end portion to the bottom end portion. The transfer apparatus includes a hook apparatus that automatically releases the slag control body as the slag control body is lowered towards the inwardly tapered opening.
