🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal expansion of new refractory materials during first firing • Purpose of radial cracks in castable refractory (whether they are always harmful or sometimes normal) • Difference between relieved stresses vs. damage needing patchwork repairs

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when new refractory is heated for the first time, what happens to locked‑in stresses as it expands and contracts? • Are small radial cracks necessarily a sign that something is wrong with the cone angle or do they sometimes show that the material has adjusted to thermal stress? • Which repair options (castable vs. plastic firebrick patchwork) would normally be reserved for actual loss of material or spalling, rather than hairline cracking?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether radial hairline cracks after first firing are commonly expected in properly dried and cured castable refractory. • Consider if inadequate cone angle would more likely affect burner performance and flame shape rather than produce uniform radial cracking right after first firing. • Confirm that patchwork repairs are usually indicated only when there is material break‑out, spalling, or significant loss of thickness, not just stress‑relief cracking.
