A blast furnace having a refractory lining of concrete components each having a volume of at least 0.2 m.sup.3, and comprising an alumina-containing cement or slag, chromium oxide of very fine particle size and fired aluminum oxide of somewhat larger particle size, together functioning as a cement for a refractory aggregate, provides great resistance to the heat and abrasive conditions existing inside of a blast furnace.

Blast furnace with a refractory lining of concrete components

Refractory vertically extending front wall for industrial furnaces which is suspended at its upper end. The refractory front wall includes several vertical individual segments which are mounted by shifting towards each other in a direction transverse to the axis of the furnace, whereby the adjacent individual segments intermesh by means of a groove/tongue arrangement.
