Abstract:
An anchor rail and anchorage system for attaching ceramic refractory materials to a metallic substrate, or casing. Each anchoring rail ( ) includes a web ( ) and a retention structure. The retention structure of the rails includes a plurality of tabs ( ) extending from the web to engage with alignment recesses on the edges of the tiles. The alignment structure on each tile ( ) includes a slot ( ) formed in each of two opposite sides of the tile ( ). A method of building ceramic lined structures includes attaching an anchor rail ( ) to a surface of the casing ( ), fitting a row of tiles ( ) in place with their alignment structures each fitting around the retention structures ( ) of the anchor rail, and continuing on with another row of tiles, until a predetermined surface area of the structure is lined with tiles.
