Conclusions
From a study of lining wear in metallurgical furnaces it follows that we must take into account the possibility of diffusion of the isotope into the refractory.
To reduce the radioactive-indicator diffusion into the refractory and improve the method of investigation, it is recommended where possible that isotopes of heavy elements be used, and that ampules be used for eliminating or reducing the diffusion of the indicator into the refractory.
