Abstract
Abstract A coating composition is provided for coating a steel form which is to be used in a coreless induction furnace. The composition includes as essential ingredients compounds selected from the groups consisting of chromium oxide, zirconium oxide and olivines. The coating is applied to the exterior surface of a steel form. The coated steel form thereafter is employed in a coreless induction furnace. A heat of molten metal is developed within the form during which heat the metal form itself melts and the coating combines with the silica within the coreless electric furnace to form a hard, glassy cavity which will resist chemical reactions from metal and slag and temperatures above 3,000*F.
