Refractory Failure Troubleshooting
Introduction – Why Refractory Failure Matters In high-temperature industries, refractory linings are essential. Steel plants, cement kilns, petrochemical reactors, glass furnaces, and non-ferrous smelters all depend on refractories to protect equipment from extreme heat, chemical attack, and mechanical wear. Without them, production would be impossible. But refractories are not invincible.
