Abstract
Abstract THIS DISCLOSURE RELATES TO A WALKING BEAM FURNACE FOR HEATING BILLETS TO HIGH TEMPERATURE IN WHICH THE BILLETS ARE SUPPORTED AT THE SIDES OF THE WALKING BEAM BY SPACED, REMOVABLE REFRACTORY BLOCKS. METAL CAPS ARE PLACED ON THE CORNERS OF THE REFRACTORY BLOCKS TO REDUCE WEAR ON THE CORNERS AS A RESULT OF CONTINUED CONTACT WITH THE BILLETS DURING THEIR MOVEMENT THROUGH THE FURNACE. SLOPING SURFACES ARE FORMED BETWEEN THE REFRACTORY BLOCKS TO FACILITATE THE ENVELOPING OF THE BILLETS WITH A HIGH HEAT INTENSITY FLAME WHILE THE BILLETS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE REFRACTORY BLOCKS.
