Abstract
An impact pad for a bottom lining of a metallurgical vessel, such as a ladle. The impact pad reduces wear to side walls of the metallurgical vessel by controlling the flow of an incoming stream of molten metal to minimize splashing and turbulence. The impact pad includes a frame portion and a bottom wall portion. The frame portion and bottom wall portion define an interior cavity for receiving the stream of molten metal.
