Abstract
A ladle shroud has a co-pressed porous ring for the introduction of an inert gas at the sealing joint between the ladle shroud and a mating ladle collector nozzle. The dense body of the ladle shroud and the co-pressed porous ring are of similar carbon-bonded graphite refractory grain compositions and have similar carbon containing binder systems to improve the bond between the ring and body components. The dense body further includes a continuous integral ledge portion which, abuts a top surface of the porous ring to seal the top of the ring against unwanted inert gas leakage.
