Temperature of Molten Metal Bath
Temperature of Molten Metal Bath
(OP)
In a 3000 lb. bath of molten iron what kind of thermal gradients would you expect to see (if any) from the surface to the bottom? The top of the vessel is exposed to ambient air and the bottom and 4 sides are steel lined with alumina refractory. I am taking temperatures from the top of the bath using an immersion thermocouple and am getting around 2550 F. The metal stream pours from the bottom of the vessel. Will this stream temperature be hotter than the surface temperature?
