4.13.2 Cooling stave bricking methods are divided into hot brick and cold brick.

4.13.3 hot brick The refractory bricks should be dried before casting. When the size of the embedded refractory bricks is not suitable, only sawing bricks or grinding bricks are allowed. A whole piece of refractory brick must be placed on the edge of the stave cooler. Corresponding technical measures should be taken when hot bricks are inserted to avoid cracking of refractory bricks due to shrinkage of the castings. Hot-inlaid refractory bricks are not allowed to have per-penetrating cracks, and refractory bricks with local cracks do not exceed 5% of the total. Drilling iron is not allowed between hot-inlaid refractory bricks.

The gap between the refractory brick and the inner surface of the cooling stave’s swallow-tail groove is lmm-3mm, and the gap between the brick and the brick is 1mm to 3mm. The refractory mud between the refractory brick and the cooling stave body, the refractory brick and the refractory brick must be full and free of voids. After cold-inserted bricks, the cooling staves should be naturally dried or dried in the kiln to a certain strength before being transported.
