Zusammenfassung:A preheating arrangement for bringing foundry ladles up to temperature is described. The arrangement comprises a slotted elongated graphite rod extending down from a ladle cover, a pair of clamp and contact elements extending through the cover and a transformer above the cover with a shell around the transformer forming a single turn secondary winding connected directly to the clamp and contact elements. A graphite element is coated to protect it from corrosive atmospheres by heating it, while buried in sand, to the fusing temperature of the sand and then allowing it to cool.
