SUMMARY:Refractory wear evaluation based on AU-E and physical measurements at Heibei JinXi Iron & Steel Group Co. Ltd
DESCRIPTION:The wear and erosion of the refractory lining and cooling elements in blast furnaces are the main reason for the termination of their campaign life.  This paper presents the results of combined AU-E inspection and thermal analysis of refractory lining in blast furnace #9 at the JinXi steel plant in Tangshan, China.  In June 2019, BF#9 was relined and allowed us to compare the AU-E inspection results with actual physical refractory thickness measurements. 
This comparison helps us understand the strengths and weaknesses of indirect methods utilized to monitor blast furnace hearths' refractory condition.
