The converter had been consuming brick as though the whole vessel aged at one speed. It did not. The mouth and upper cone opened first under repeated thermal shock, the impact zone was taking the hardest punishment from charging and blowing, and the barrel was quietly accumulating fatigue until an avoidable stop became urgent. Because the plant was still reviewing the vessel as one line item, it could see cost but not geography. What it lacked was not refractory volume. It lacked a zoned campaign narrative.
Open the closest case first, compare hot zone and execution model, then judge if it fits your next step.
These cases show which section of the unit starts failing first, how the wear develops, and how the refractory package helps bring shutdown risk back under control. Each example keeps equipment object, service pressure, failure mechanism, and practical buying value in the same route.
