Abstract
Abstract A method of lining a cavity, such as, for example, the head box for an ingot mold, comprising applying to the surface to be lined a lining of a self-supporting deformable fibre mat refractory composition and then exerting pressure on that lining so as to deform and conform it to the shape of the cavity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
The method of lining an ingot hot top with a preformed liner comprising: forming a flexible mat by removing liquid from a slurry of a refractory composition including fibrous material and a suitable binder on a filter screen, removing said mat from said screen, disposing said mat around inside surfaces of said hot top and inserting an expansible deforming means within said mat and expanding said means to press said mat into conformance with the interior surfaces of said hot top, removing said expansible deforming means, leaving said mat adhered within said hot-top thereby forming a lining and allowing said lining to harden in place.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
105 words
The method of lining an ingot hot top with a preformed liner comprising: forming a flexible mat by removing liquid from a slurry of a refractory composition including fibrous material and a suitable binder on a filter screen, removing said mat from said screen, disposing said mat around inside surfaces of said hot top and inserting an expansible deforming means within said mat and expanding said means to press said mat into conformance with the interior surfaces of said hot top, removing said expansible deforming means, leaving said mat adhered within said hot-top thereby forming a lining and allowing said lining to harden in place.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the outer surface of the fibre mat refractory composition is provided with a layer of adhesive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the walls of the cavity to be lined are provided with a layer of adhesive.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the lining material is made by forming a slurry comprising an inorganic fibrous material, a binder and an evaporatable carrier medium, and partially removing the evaporatable carrier medium to form a flexible fibrous mat.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 14 wherein the slurry contains a refractory filler.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method according to claim 4 wherein the carrier medium of the slurry is a member selected from the group consisting of ethanol, methanol, propanol, isopropanol and butanol.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 6 wherein the slurry contains a refractory filler.
