The invention relates to a 
combustion-heated heating ball, which is a hollow ball body compounded by a fireproof material layer and a combustible material layer, and a centripetal through hole is manufactured on the ball body. By adding the heating ball to the melt 
liquid metal surface of the high-temperature conveying equipment during the metallurgical production, the combustible material of the ball body is contacted with the 
oxygen above the melt 
liquid metal surface to carry out 
combustion reaction to emit heat under the 
radiation and heating action of the high-temperature 
liquid metal, so as to heat the liquid 
metal and the equipment; at the same time, the fireproof ball housing not only can serve as the carrier of 
solid fuel, but also can be used for 
thermal insulation, so as to reflect and block the combusting heat and the heat emitted by the liquid 
metal, as a result, the 
heating effect of the heating ball is improved, the 
thermal insulation function is achieved, the 
temperature drop speed of the liquid 
metal is reduced, and the purpose of energy saving is achieved. Due to the heat emitted by the heating ball, the temperature surrounding the openings of the 
liquid iron ladle and the steel 
ladle for containing the melt liquid metal in the steel industry is kept very high, as a result, the 
slag bonding problem on the brims of the 
liquid iron ladle and the steel ladle is greatly reduced.
