Conclusions
The Rustavi Metallurgical Factory is the first one in the Soviet Union to adopt the “Orion” set of equipment for mechanized guniting of the lining of steel-teeming ladles. The Suvorov Ore Board and the Semiluk Refractory Factory have manufactured experimental batches of guniting masses from chamotte and refractory clay, and their use has given good results.
The mean life of a steel-teeming ladle lining is 23.4 meltings in comparison with 10 for ungunited ladles. The maximum life attained is 52 meltings. The efficiency of labor engaged on ladle lining has been increased sixfold.
