The slag pot, also known as a slag ladle, is a key steelmaking vessel used to collect and transport molten slag during metallurgical operations. It operates under high temperatures and heavy mechanical loads, making resistance to deformation, cracking and thermal fatigue essential for reliable service.

Tenfaye manufactures custom cast steel slag pots according to customer drawings and technical specifications. With electric-furnace melting and project-specific material selection, we produce slag pots with capacities ranging from 1 m³ to 50 m³, using material grades such as GS-20Mn5 and ZG230-450. Manufacturing processes are selected to help control deformation and cracking during repeated thermal cycles.

Features & advantages

1. Heavy-Duty Cast Steel Construction

Robust cast steel structures are designed to withstand heavy loads and impact in demanding steelmaking and slag-handling environments.

2. Optimized Wall Thickness and Structural Design

Carefully designed wall transitions help reduce stress concentrations, lowering the risk of thermal cracking and deformation during repeated heating and cooling cycles.

3. Reinforced Trunnion and Lifting Areas

Trunnion and lifting areas are manufactured to specified design and load requirements to support reliable crane handling during slag transportation.

4. CAE Simulation for Casting Quality

CAE casting simulation helps optimize the gating and feeding systems, reduce the risk of internal shrinkage cavities and porosity, and improve casting integrity.

5. Internal Defect Inspection

Ultrasonic testing (UT) helps detect internal discontinuities that may not be visible on the casting surface. Combined with casting process optimization, it supports the prevention and control of internal shrinkage cavities and porosity.

6. Machining to Drawing Requirements

Machining is carried out according to customer drawings and specified dimensional tolerances to meet project-specific assembly and installation requirements.

Taking a well-known steel company around the world as an example:
1. The trunnion is the most important position of the pouring ladle. I belongs to the red detection area and no defects are allowed.
The trunnion material is: 35CrMo, 40Cr. It follows the Chinese industry standard JB/T6396-2006.
2. The inner working surface, polished smooth and excessive. Perform ASTM A802 LEVEL 3.
3. Heat treatment normalizing + tempering, issuing heat treatment curve record chart and heat treatment report
4. Non-destructive testing: UT performs DIN EN 12680, 3-1, level 3 MT performs DIN EN 1369. LM2/SM2/AM2.
5. Provide material chemical composition reports and material mechanical properties reports.
