Abstract

To maximize furnace campaigns and to minimize production downtimesthrough short lining times, the entire integral blast furnacearea, including the auxiliary units, has to be theoretically partitioned.The evolution of measures for extending furnace life is in conjunctionwith the investigation and understanding of the in some respectsvery complicated wear mechanisms and their causes. Of mostimportance are the constructional, material and process engineeringmeasures to reduce wear and the measuring instrumentation forearly detection and progress monitoring of wear.
