CONTAINER CAPABLE OF TRANSPORTING MOLTEN METAL RECEIVED THEREIN TO SEPARATE FACTORY AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE CONTAINER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/101646
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A container capable of transporting molten metal, such as molten aluminum alloy, received in it from a factory where the metal is produced to a factory where the metal is used. The container can also supply molten metal to a point where the metal is used using a pressure difference. The container comprises a frame (1a) and a lining (2) that is provided inside the frame and has in it a flow passage (9) for molten metal. The flow passage (9) is surrounded by piping (34)and at least part of the passage controls communication of gas. The piping (34) is made of, for example, metal, and has a lining layer (34b) formed of a fire resistant material on its inner face; however, the piping (34) can be made of ceramic. The piping (34) shuts off the circulation of gas even when a crack etc. occurs in the lining (2), so that molten metal supply condition is stabilized.
