Disclosed are components covered with a protective coating for use in a molten metal bath (or comparable environment) and devices including such components. The protective coating is preferably a ceramic sleeve adhered to a non-coated component by cement. A component with the protective coating is more resistant to degradation in molten metal than is the component without the coating, and may be manufactured by the process of (a) placing the protective coating over the non-coated component, and (b) injecting cement into the space between the non-coated component and protective coating, wherein at least some of the cement is injected through a passage in either the non-coated component or the protective coating.

The invention relates to a blast furnace cold-intensifying and heat-avoiding type gradient brick distribution method and belongs to the technical field of long life of iron-making blast furnaces. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the following process steps of: (1) performing flat steel mesh installation and leveling layer construction on the blast furnace hearth and furnace bottom, and sequentially performing layered construction; (2) performing wall-to-wall furnace bottom graphite brick masonry construction on the layer I; (3) performing wall-to-wall furnace bottom carbon brick masonry construction on the layers II, III, IV and V; (4) performing furnace bottom ceramic cup pack-up block masonry construction; (5) performing furnace bottom and hearth side wall carbon brick masonry construction; and (6) performing hearth ceramic cup wall masonry construction.

A brick hearth system comprises a rigid containment shell in which a concave bottom is lined with a hearth refractory sub-layer and hearth brick working layer. The outer perimeter of the hearth refractory is ringed with thrust blocks to compress the whole toward the center and to thereby deny gaps from forming between the separate bricks. Many individual thrust rods penetrate the outer bottom of the containment shell, and such are used to transmit compression forces generated outside the shell to be applied against the thrust blocks in unison. Each thrust rod receives an adjustable amount of inward force from a spring, acting either directly or through a beam or rocker arm. These are anchored to and use the hoop strength of the containment shell as leverage. As the hearth brick working layer grows during its service life, the ring of thrust blocks grows in diameter as well inside the margins provided within the containment shell. The individual thrust rod springs are periodically adjusted to keep the pressures in the optimal range.
