Conclusions
The investigation showed that the thermal conductivity of inserts intended for heating the feeder part of the ingot varies considerably, notably at 600–900°C.
The thermal conductivity of the inserts is influenced only slightly by the method of production and by the composition of the material.
A comparison of the coefficients of heat retention showed that insert No. 1 is greatly superior to the remainder in this respect and that the heat insulation properties of the inserts differ considerably from those of the chamotte brick used as lining for the feeder heads.
