Refractory work lining erosion is usually classified as chemical, thermal and mechanical erosion, which can occur singly or in combination, and the damage to the refractory can be continuous (dissolution and erosion) or discontinuous (cracking and spalling), with spalling leading to discontinuous local separation of the refractory bricks and severe slag infiltration culminating in densification of the bricks close to the hot face. .
