Effect Of Glass Melt On Corrosion Of The Lining Of An Industrial Glass Furnace

In this work a study of the influence of the glass melt on durability of the refractories used as a lining in a furnace of the Greek flat glass industry is presented. Exact compounds formed especially in the lining as well as the maximum depth are observed and determined. This study shows that after five years continuous running of the furnace a permanent change in the structure of the refractories occurs, reaching a depth of about 4-5cm from the internal side of the furnace.
