Abstract
A lining structure for a refractory vessel contains a first layer containing refractory material; a second layer, in communication with and parallel to the first layer, containing a metal layer or component; and a third layer, in communication with and parallel to the second layer, containing refractory material. The metal component in the second layer contains filled transverse passages, between the surface of the second layer in contact with the first layer and the surface of the second layer in contact with the third layer, producing support structures to maintain the structural integrity of the refractory vessel in use.

A lining structure for a refractory vessel, comprising
- a) a first layer having a first layer first major surface and a first layer second major surface disposed opposite to the first layer first major surface, and
- b) a second layer having a second layer first major surface and a second layer second major surface disposed opposite to the second layer first major surface;
- wherein the first layer second major surface is in communication with the second layer first major surface;
- and
- c) a nonperforated third layer having a third layer first major surface in communication with the second layer second major surface,
- wherein the second layer comprises a metal component having a major surface adjacent to the third layer first major surface,
- wherein the area of metal component adjacent to the third layer first major surface has a value from and including 50% to and including 100% of the area of the third layer first major surface, and
- wherein second layer comprises a material selected from the group consisting of steel, aluminum, alloys and combinations of any thereof.
