Relining of a primary heat treating furnace with ceramic fiber blanket at Georgia Iron Works at Groveton, Ga., not only saved /10,800 a year in gas consumption at full furnace capacity, but also cut maintenance expenditures, reduced downtime and slashed cycle time. The first phase was installing a wallpaper veneer of two-ft-wide ceramic fiber blankets on the sidewalls and door. The other was erecting a roof of edge-stacked blanket for increased resistance to high temperature and gas velocities.
