In the field of metallurgy and melting, ladle is a container for conveying high temperature metals or pouring molten metal. Usually it comes in three different types, such as cast ladle, transfer ladle, and treatment ladle. Ladle is usually rated according to its ability to work rather than the actual size.
Cast ladle: A ladle used to cast molten metal into a mold to produce a casting.
Transfer ladle: A ladle used to transfer large quantities of molten metal from one process to another.
Typically, the transfer ladle will be used to transfer molten metal from the primary furnace to a holding furnace or an automatic casting device.
Treatment ladle: A ladle used in processes occurring within a ladle to alter certain aspects of the molten metal. A typical example is the conversion of cast iron to ductile iron by adding various elements to the ladle.
