- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in refractory bowls for molten metal sampling?
**A**: Refractory bowls are typically made from alumina-silica, zirconia-based, or magnesia refractory materials, chosen for their exceptional heat resistance and ability to withstand extreme temperatures during molten metal sampling.

### Q: How does the refractory lining in these bowls protect against thermal shock?
**A**: The refractory lining acts as a thermal barrier, minimizing heat transfer to the bowl structure and preventing thermal shock that could cause cracking or failure when exposed to rapid temperature changes from molten metal samples.

### Q: What are the key components of a refractory bowl assembly?
**A**: The main components include the bowl structure for mechanical support, the refractory lining for direct contact with molten metal, and the thermal barrier layer that protects the overall assembly from extreme heat during sampling operations.
