Conclusions
The production of unfired forsterite nozzle-collectors was developed. Their wear in the service time equals 1.6 mm (on the side). The mineralogical and structural changes in the forsterite articles occurs at a depth of up to 5 mm on account of the migration of alumina, iron oxides, and the temperature action.
