It would no be possible to make steel without these ceramics
This is a ceramic plug to stop the flow of steel
Alumina and carbon
A visit to the State Key Ceramics Laboratory. This is a gate for pouring steel
Magnesium oxide and carbon
Many people know that steelmaking involves blowing gas from the bottom of the ladle, through molten steel
The lower part is a cross section. The gas enters through thin slits, then through the porous ceramic and bubbles into the steel
The oter side of the gate
Another composite ceramic
This is insulating ceramic
Different kind of insulating ceramic
Shows the development of earing in deep-drawn steel due to anisotropic properties
