Erosion of referactory during gas injection : a cavitation based model

• The problem of tuyere refractory wear has been studied in an air--water model using a 4 mm diamter tuyere. Erosion tests, with boric acid (H sub 3 BO sub 3 ) disks as refactory simulators, and measurements of back-attack frequency were carried out. The erosion pattern shows two distinct features: isolated elliptical pits and a continuous irregular shear wear pattern. The influence on these features of the surface hardness and gas flow rate was investigated. 24 ref.--
