It would be possible to estimate the maximum temperatures attained by the furnace refractories, lining etc during smelting but this may well have been lower than the temperatures attained in the reaction zone of the furnace.

Is it possible to infer the temperatures achieved inside a blast furnace by
analyzing samples of the interior? Has anyone done it?
