Conclusions Chromium oxide blocks developed by the Ukrainian Scientific-Research Institute of Refractories from fine-grained and coarse-grained compounds, like the chromium oxide refractories S-1215 material made by the Corhart company of the USA, ensure a high resistance in the linings of the tanks of glass furnaces producing glass fiber. Their wear occurs on account of chemical solution in the glass at temperatures above 1500°C. Magnesite-chromite refractories rapidly react with aluminoborosilicate glass and cannot be recommended for the second layer of the structure of the glass tanks. Mullite-corundum refractories are subjected to rapid wear in the crown of glass furnaces due to the interaction with vapors of the glass batch at high temperatures. In order to increase the length of the operation of fiber-producing furnaces we recommend that the first and second layers of the tank lining, the channel, and the feeder be made of chromium oxide refractories, and the suspension walls and roof of the furnace from corundum refractories. These recommendations are being used for building the furnace for a second campaign.
