The Backbone of High-Temperature Industrial Linings
Refractory anchors are specially designed metallic or ceramic elements used to fix and support refractory linings—such as castables, bricks, or fiber modules— to the shell of industrial equipment. Their purpose is to hold the lining in place, prevent sagging or collapse, and distribute stress evenly throughout the lining system.
Refractory anchors come in various shapes, sizes, and materials depending on the temperature range and application. Common types include:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| V Anchors | Shaped like a "V", commonly used in ceramic fiber module linings. |
| Y Anchors | Provide support in both directions for better stress distribution. |
| U Anchors | U-shaped for deep embedment in castable linings. |
| Corrugated Anchors | Wavy or twisted shapes to increase grip in castables. |
| Stud Anchors | Welded or bolted directly to the shell. |
Refractory anchors are generally made from heat-resistant alloys such as:
