During long-term high-temperature operation of industrial furnaces, refractory materials experience significant stress due to thermal expansion, thermal shock, and their own weight. Without a reliable anchoring system, this can easily lead to loosening, detachment, or even complete failure of the furnace lining. Anchoring components are the core structural parts that ensure the safe operation of refractory linings.
The Furnace anchors secure the lining to be connected in a specific position to resist static loads, thermal stress, mechanical rotation, or vibration. They help prevent the material from collapsing before ceramic bonding occurs during construction and heating, and also help ensure uniform material shrinkage, preventing large, concentrated cracks in the lining.
There are two types: metal and ceramic. Metal Furnace anchors are made of materials such as low-carbon steel, heat-resistant alloy steel, and nickel-chromium alloy; ceramic Furnace anchors are made of refractory raw materials through molding and firing.

Ⅰ.It can withstand high operating temperatures and is generally used in the lining of kilns that operate at temperatures above 1200℃ for extended periods;
Ⅱ.It can withstand the erosion and corrosion of corrosive atmospheres;
Ⅲ.It can be extended to the working surface, reducing the risk of overall lining spalling;
Ⅳ.Compared with metal Furnace anchors, it has a larger contact area with the refractory lining, and therefore has a greater supporting capacity;
Ⅴ.Its coefficient of thermal expansion is comparable to that of the integral refractory material, which can eliminate cracking or spalling of the lining caused by thermal expansion mismatch.
Furnace anchors are available in various shapes, including Y-type, V-type, T-type, M-type, Z-type, and S-type.
Metal furnace anchors are used to support and secure thin refractory castables, refractory plastics, and refractory spray coatings. The selection of anchor shape depends on the structure of the lining.
Ceramic furnace anchors are typically designed with flat top and bottom surfaces, while the remaining four sides are serrated to increase the contact area and friction with the lining, thereby providing effective suspension and support.

Furnace anchors are mostly used as fasteners for integral linings (lined with castable, plastic, and shotcrete materials). Metal Furnace anchors are typically used to support and secure thinner or insulated integral linings, such as chimney linings, wear-resistant linings of petrochemical catalytic cracking reactors (often using hexagonal mesh Furnace anchors), linings of integral spray guns in jet metallurgy, integral linings of impregnation tubes in DH and RH vacuum degassing units, and linings of rotary kiln outlets and inlets. Metal Furnace anchors are mostly used to secure linings with long-term operating temperatures below 1200℃, or linings with short-term intermittent operating temperatures above 1200℃. Ceramic Furnace anchors are typically used to secure thicker (greater than 200mm) integral linings.

Arrangement and Spacing: The arrangement and spacing of Furnace anchors depend on the shape of the furnace shell or components, the material (density) and thickness of the lining, the operating temperature and conditions (continuous and intermittent operation), and the magnitude of the thermal and mechanical stresses borne by the lining. The arrangement of Furnace anchors must be designed to provide sufficient support strength without causing long cracks in the refractory material during thermal expansion and contraction.
