Conclusions
The Panteleimonov Refractories Plant produced a large industrial batch of forsterite roof brick for the lower structure of open-hearth furnaces. Tests carried out at the Donetsk Metallurgical Factory showed that it is desirable to use these forsterite refractories: the life of the regenerator roofs was four campaigns in the main roof with an adequately large residual thickness.
Investigations established that the changes in the forsterite brick during service in the roof of regenerators are similar to the changes in bricks during service in other structural elements, but the destruction processes occur much more slowly.
