Heat Resisting Steels for the Glass Industry

JSGT 1936 V20 T695-T716

The properties required in heat resisting materials for medium and high temperature operations are reviewed, with reference to the following: composition, thermal conductivity, changes occurring on heating, microstructure, strength at high temperatures, resistance to scaling, the effects of repeated heating and cooling, and the bearing of structural changes. An account is given of the performance of heat resisting alloys in service. New experimental methods of investigation are described relating to resistance to the effects of repeated heating and cooling, and the attack by molten glass on materials suitable for the tools and equipment used.
