Abstract: The invention relates to an alkaline (basic), refractory ceramic hollow item.

Abstract: The invention concerns a stopper rod with a cylindrical stopper rod body comprising a fire-resistant, carbon-containing material, having a base part and a nose-like section made of a different fire-resistant material than the base part, whereby an interface extends between the nose-like section and the base part over the entire cross-section of the stopper rod body, wherein the nose-like section comprises a fire-resistant material wherein the carbon content burns out under oxidic atmosphere above 90° C., at least close to a surface area.

Abstract: The invention concerns a stopper rod with a stopper rod cap that is designed differently from the base body.

Abstract: A refractory ceramic stopper has therein a recess including an annular outwardly enlarged portion defining a stop surface. A stopper rod inserted into the recess in the stopper has a support surface. A plurality of spreadable members having opposite ends are positioned about the stopper rod and are inserted therewith into the recess in the stopper. The spreadable members are spread outwardly such that they enter the enlarged portion of the recess in the stopper with first ends of the spreadable members confronting the stop surface of the stopper and with second ends of the spreadable members confronting the support surface of the stopper rod. Thereby the spreadable members lock the stopper onto the stopper rod.
