Anchors
In this episode of HTT.edu, we dig into the unsung hardware that keeps monolithic refractories where they belong: anchors. Listen in as we break down metallic anchors and why their alloy, shape, and spacing matter; take a look at classic bottle anchors and what makes them the go-to choice for castables; and wrap up with brick anchors and how they tie brick linings into shells without compromising expansion. It’s a quick tour of the little pieces that make a big difference in keeping hot linings standing strong. If you have any questions or would like to discuss som...

The main role of refractories is to contain the fires of industry. While there are many destructive mechanisms that refractories resist, their first job is to contain all that heat. This episode, we will be talking about how refractories dissipate heat through the thickness of our lining, taking a 2500F inside down to a 250F shell temperature, keeping our workers safe, keeping our costs down and keeping our furnaces efficient.

Multi-Sided Dryouts
In this short episode, we go through key differences and considerations for dryout of pre-cast shapes. Unlike field dryouts for refractories placed against a vessel's shell, pre-cast shapes require a slower and more deliberate dryout to ensure enough water is removed to be thermodynamically stable, while still retaining key strength needed for final installation. For more information about pre-cast shapes or a dryout schedule for your pre-cast operation, contact us at Technical-Marketing@ThinkHWI.com.Be sure to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes, Google Play and Spotify.
