Flux Line Corrosion In Azs Blocks - Corrosion And Maintenance

Glass furnaces are expected to run for 12-14 years and during this time there may be the need for repairs, both in hot and cold conditions. This article takes a look at how flux blocks - in particular their joints - can cause corrosion and glass leakage. The article also deals with the situations of cooling and insulation. Effect of the flux-line corrosion on melting, emergencies due to glass leakage from the flux line and assessment of corrosion are also looked into.
