The reliability of a steel-melting object operation depends to a considerable extent on the state of the furnace hearth refractory lining. Prolonged and partial furnace stoppages lead to loss of integrity of the sintered layer whose restoration requires performance of several necessary operations. Timely repair of the sintered layer reduces hot lost time and periclase material consumption.
