Abstract

The invention relates to a method for repairing a region (30) to be repaired, extending over the lower surface (29) of a side wall (22, 26) of the enclosure of a glass melting furnace (10), the method comprising the following steps: a) installing an inner formwork (32) comprising a flexible textile element (50) and a stiffening element (52) intended to reinforce the inner formwork, so as to form a mould (36) around the region to be repaired; b) filling the mould with a repair product (41) until reaching a service configuration; wherein, in step a), the textile element is rigidly attached to the furnace, the textile element being shaped so as to exert, on the stiffening element, in the service configuration, a force (R) opposing the thrust (P) exerted by the repair product on the stiffening element.

Abstract

A method for detecting a defect in a region of interest within a part to be tested includes the step of, for a reference part identical to the part to be tested but free from defects, determining a set of resonant modes each defining: a resonant frequency of the reference part, considering that the modulus of elasticity of the reference part is constant, and a field of mechanical stresses on and/or in the reference part that are generated when the reference part resonates at the resonant frequency. The method includes selecting the resonant mode, referred to as “optimum resonant mode”, that generates, in the region of interest, a maximum mechanical stress and determining a loading mode, referred to as “optimum” loading mode, that primarily activates the optimum resonant mode, a loading mode defining at least an excitation wave, an injection zone where the excitation wave is injected into the reference part, and an output zone where an output wave resulting from the excitation wave passing through from the injection zone to the output zone is picked up. The method includes carrying out nonlinear resonant spectrometry analysis based on the optimum loading mode, so as to determine a nonlinearity parameter for each of the part to be tested and reference part and classifying the part to be tested on the basis of the difference between the nonlinearity parameters for the part to be tested and for the reference part.”

Abstract

The invention relates to a glass furnace comprising a device for monitoring, by time-domain or frequency-domain electrical reflectometry, the condition of a part of the furnace (30), comprising an array of wire-like electromagnetic waveguides (12), extending parallel to the hot face (37) and at a suitable distance such that, in use, the waveguide is at a temperature of greater than 500°C and less than 1300°C, and comprising a plurality of discontinuities, referred to as "basic discontinuities" (24), which are: - randomly distributed at least along the measurement part of the waveguide, and - capable of generating echoes having an amplitude of greater than 0.5%, preferably greater than 1% and less than 30%, of the amplitude of the back echo reflected by the output end of the waveguide, referred to as "secondary basic echoes", or consisting of reliefs, or reliefs resulting from uneven segmentation of a dielectric material positioned between the first and second electrical conductors, or from local variations in the distance between the first and second electrical conductors or the distance between the first electrical conductor and/or the second electrical conductor on the one hand and a dielectric material of a support on the other hand, or from variations in the structure and/or the composition of the environment around the first and second electrical conductors or between the first and second electrical conductors, the number of basic discontinuities being greater than 10 per metre of the measurement part of the waveguide. The discontinuities can be beads (23).

Abstract

Method for detecting a defect in a region of interest within a part to be tested, comprising the following steps: a) for a reference part that is identical to the part to be tested but is free of defects, a1) determining a set of resonant modes each defining: - a resonant frequency of the reference part taking the elastic modulus of the reference part to be constant, and - a field of mechanical stresses on and/or in the reference part that are generated when the reference part is resonating at said resonant frequency; a2) selecting the resonant mode, called the "optimal resonant mode", that generates the maximum mechanical stress in the region of interest; b) determining a loading mode, called the "optimal loading mode", that mainly activates said optimal resonant mode, a loading mode defining at least one excitation wave, a feed zone where the excitation wave is fed into the reference part, and an output zone where an output wave resulting from the excitation wave traveling from the feed zone to the output zone is detected; c) analysis using nonlinear resonance spectroscopy based on the optimal loading mode so as to determine a nonlinearity parameter for each one of said parts to be tested and said reference part; d) classifying the part to be tested according to the difference between the nonlinearity parameters for the part to be tested and for the reference part.

A process for the manufacture of a refractory block including more than 80% zirconia, in percentage by weight based on the oxides. The process includes the following successive stages: melting, under reducing conditions, of a charge including more than 50% zircon, in percentage by weight, such as to reduce the zircon and obtain a molten material, application of oxidizing conditions to the molten material, casting of the molten material, and cooling until at least partial solidification of the molten material in the form of a block. Also, the process can include heat treatment of the block.

Abstract

A method for producing a glass furnace, including a refractory portion, a waveguide with a measurement portion extending into the refractory portion and an interrogator connected to an input of the waveguide to inject an interrogation signal. The measurement portion incorporating a sensor to send a response signal to the interrogator in response to the injection. The interrogator analyzing the response signal and sending a message. Arranging, inside a mold, a temporary part configured to leave space for a compartment for the measurement portion. Preparing a starting feedstock and introducing the starting feedstock into the mold such that the part is embedded therein to obtain a preform. Hardening the preform to form the refractory portion. Removing the temporary part to make the compartment. Assembling the refractory portion with other constituent elements and introducing the measurement portion into the compartment and connecting the interrogator to the input of the waveguide.
