A diffusion component for impregnating molten steel with a gas includes a barrier having a first side and a second side, a through-hole formed within the barrier, the through-hole connecting the first side to the second side, and a porous element arranged within the through-hole such that the flow of molten steel passes over the porous element. At least one flow disrupter is arranged relative to the porous element and configured to promote non-laminar flow of molten steel passing through the through-hole.

Provided is a high-quality semi-solid slurry manufacturing apparatus and method using optimized process parameters, and a component molding apparatus including the semi-solid slurry manufacturing apparatus, and particularly, a high-quality semi-solid slurry manufacturing apparatus and method using optimized process parameters, which can optimize process parameters for manufacturing a semi-solid slurry such that a fine slurry structure and uniform spheroidized particles are obtained and can obtain high-quality products by increasing convenience and productivity of the apparatus, and a component molding apparatus including the semi-solid slurry manufacturing apparatus.

A vibratory system and method for use in transferring molten metal. The vibratory system includes a vibrator which generates vibrational energy used to dislodge particulate positioned in a ladle for storing molten metal in an industrial molten metal transfer and manufacturing process. In one example, the vibratory system includes a transfer device for guiding the molten metal from the ladle and the vibrator is connected to the transfer device. In an example of a method for dislodging the particulate from the ladle, particulate is added to the ladle and vibrational energy is applied or transferred to the ladle to dislodge the particulate from the ladle allowing a flow of the molten metal to exit the ladle unobstructed by the particulate.

After molten metal has been poured from a ladle 6 into a converter, metal 6b adhering to the ladle 6 is dropped into the ladle 6 on-line, and molten metal is poured from an electric furnace into the ladle 6 into which the metal 6b has been dropped. As a result, the metal 6b is melted and is recovered as a material.
