Abstract
A furnace crown structure for furnaces used to fire ceramic materials at high temperature, which comprises silicon carbide beams. Each beam is laid crosswise to the longitudinal axis of the furnace, parallel to one another at constant pitch distances apart. The spaces between the beams one closed with satisfactory material plates. The furnace affords the possibility of forming a furnace crown from a light weight material which can provide for a rapidly achieved steady state operation and cooling down of the furnace. The furnace can reach temperatures in the 1600.degree. C. range.
Claims5
A furnace crown structure for furnaces used to fire ceramic materials at a high temperature, characterized in that it comprises silicon carbide beams:
- said beamms being laid crosswise to the longitudinal axis of the furnace;
- said beams being laid parallel to one another at constant pitch distances apart;
- and
- the spaces defined between said beams being closed with refractory material plates.
