Abstract
Abstract A method of producing a refractory lining in a cylinder or tube by initiating an exothermic reduction reaction, such as an aluminothermic reduction reaction, within the cylinder and causing the reaction products to coat the interior of the tube substantially uniformly. The product of the method, a ceramic-or refractory-lined cylinder, is also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A method of producing a refractory lining in a metal cylinder, comprising: fitting said cylinder at each end with a mixture-retaining member; rotating said cylinder about its axis with said axis substantially horizontal; placing a predetermined amount of a powdered exothermic reaction mixture in said cylinder while rotating, and covering the inside wall of said cylinder substantially completely; igniting said mixture to form a superheated melt comprising a heavier metal phase and a lighter slag phase; continuing rotation of said cylinder to separate said melt into said metal phase in contact with said cylinder and said slag phase overlying said metal phase; and solidifying said melt to form a two layer abrasion resistant refractory lining in said cylinder, said coating consisting of a metal layer in contact with said cylinder and a slag layer overlying said metal layer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
138 words
A method of producing a refractory lining in a metal cylinder, comprising: fitting said cylinder at each end with a mixture-retaining member; rotating said cylinder about its axis with said axis substantially horizontal; placing a predetermined amount of a powdered exothermic reaction mixture in said cylinder while rotating, and covering the inside wall of said cylinder substantially completely; igniting said mixture to form a superheated melt comprising a heavier metal phase and a lighter slag phase; continuing rotation of said cylinder to separate said melt into said metal phase in contact with said cylinder and said slag phase overlying said metal phase; and solidifying said melt to form a two layer abrasion resistant refractory lining in said cylinder, said coating consisting of a metal layer in contact with said cylinder and a slag layer overlying said metal layer.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
79 words
A method of producing a refractory lining in a metal cylinder, comprising: maintaining an exothermic reaction mixture in contact with the inside surface of said cylinder, orienting said filled cylinder with its longitudinal axis vertically, igniting said mixture to initiate said exothermic reaction and form a molten metal-slag mixture, allowing said molten metal-slag mixture to move downwardly, coating the inside of said cylinder, and solidifying said molten mixture to form an intimately bonded substantially ceramic lining in said cylinder.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
79 words
A method of producing a refractory lining in a metal cylinder, comprising: maintaining an exothermic reaction mixture in contact with the inside surface of said cylinder, orienting said filled cylinder with its longitudinal axis vertically, igniting said mixture to initiate said exothermic reaction and form a molten metal-slag mixture, allowing said molten metal-slag mixture to move downwardly, coating the inside of said cylinder, and solidifying said molten mixture to form an intimately bonded substantially ceramic lining in said cylinder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein one end of said cylinder is covered by a removable cap before filling said cylinder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method according to claim 3, wherein said cylinder is placed on a refractory prior to igniting said mixture.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein said cylinder is placed in a sand bed prior to igniting said mixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method according to claim 3, wherein said cylinder is positioned above a receptacle prior to igniting said mixture.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
10 words
A refractory-lined cylinder produced by the method of claim 2.
