Excessive Shrinkage
exposure to excessive temperatures
Surface Wear/Erosion
mechanical erosion by catalyst
Surface or Internal Cracks
repeated thermal cycling
Corrosion
chemical corrosion can cause erosion, cracking and disruption of thermal lining
Slag Build-up
attack of hot face of refractory lining by alkalis
Thermal Cycling
repeated thermal cycling causes cracking at surface of brick
Anchoring System Failure
insufficient anchoring to withstand thermal stresses
Thermal Mechanical Spalling
excessive thermal expansion at refractory hot face results in pinch spalling at refractory joints
