This paper reports mechanisms of corrosion of the refractories used in industrial melting of lead crystal glass hollowware, and some chosen examples of defects linked to this corrosion. Sections prepared in worn refractories from dismantled furnaces and in different defects were characterised by SEM (scanning electron microscope) microanalysis.
