molten-metal tapping portion extending from a lower portion of the ladle
body to above the ladle body, wherein the working cover is equipped with
a cover body covering the opening of the top cover, a gas inlet formed in
a top panel of the cover body, and a heat-resistant layer provided inside
the cover body. The heat-resistant layer is comprised of a gas-permeable
