Abstract
A stave for a metallurgical furnace with a structural matrix fastened to a stave body. The structural matrix includes a plurality of cells open on one end in order to receive refractory material or furnace materials (feed stock, accretions, etc.) such that the received materials are retained by the structural matrix and form an abrasion barrier to protect the stave from future contact by furnace materials.
