Abstract

During the last two decades, several developments have taken place in the field of iron production. Necessary design changes were made in the blast furnaces to suit the demands. The furnaces are driven harder for increased productivity by incorporating the sinter in the burden, increasing the hot blast temperature, etc. These improvements in the field of metallurgy naturally demand better refractories and construction methods. This article reviews some of the latest developments in the refractory construction and other improvements incorporated in the blast furnaces of the Tata Iron & Steel Company.
