The temperature and thermal stress of different air ways of purging plug were comparatively analyzed by means of finite element method. Combined with the physical properties of the air ways of purging plug, a set of field tests were carried out for the optimum structure. The results showed that the structure of air ways of purging plug had great impact on the thermal stress. In service process, the damage of the air way was mainly caused by tensile stress in axial direction. By evenly distributes the tensile stress in axial direction, the stress decreased by 40% compared with the original one, and thermal shock resistance of purging plug D with circular slit structure has been improved and also proved in the field test.

Availability of self-healing on the thermal shock resistance of ceramic components was investigated. Using gas quenching method, the crack-healed alumina-18 vol% SiC composite, which has excellent self-healing ability, was applied to thermal shock of the arbitrary quenching rate. The procedure could give rise to the thermal stress fracture at high temperature. The critical quenching rate at thermal stress fracture of the healed specimen was found to be 6.47 K/s, corresponding to the thermal stress of 452.3 MPa. Alternatively, that of the cracked specimen was found to be 5.02 K/s, corresponding to the thermal stress of 350 MPa. From the obtained results, usage of self-healing was confirmed to improve extremely thermal shock resistance. The present result suggests that usage of self-healing gives a large advantage to design the high temperature ceramic components, because the mechanically reliable design and thermal shock resistance cannot coexist due to low thermal conductivity.

β-Sialon bonded ZrO2 composites were prepared by reaction sintering process using β-Sialon and CaO stabilized ZrO2 powders as raw materials.The effect of β-Sialon powder additions on the properties of the composites was investigated. The results show that the samples with 10 wt% of β-Sialon addition had the lowest apparent porosity (29.80%) and the highest of flexural strength (68.70MPa). The thermal shock resistance in carbon addition of the composites could be improved by addtion of 5wt% β-Sialon. It may be relative with that the sample had the lowest thermal expansion coefficient in vacuum.

The crystal structure, synthesis, and densification of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) are summarized in detail. In this chapter, ZrB2-ZrC-SiC ceramic was synthesized by reactive hot pressing a mixture of Zr, B4C, and Si powders. The thermal shock resistance of the ZrB2-SiC-ZrC ceramic was estimated by the water-quenching method and was significantly greater than that of a ZrB2-15vol.% SiC ceramic. The isothermal oxidation of the ZrB2-SiC-ZrC ceramic was carried out in static air at constant temperatures of 1000±15, 1200±15, and 1400±15 ºC for different amounts of time at each temperature. The mechanism of strength increase for the oxidized specimen indicated that the strength increased with the reaction rate, which was related to the rate of change in volume induced by reaction, initial crack geometry, elastic modulus, and surface free energy. The formation of oxide layers resulted in (I) repair of surface flaws, (II) increase in flexural strength, (III) appearance of a compressive stress zone beneath the surface oxide layers, (IV) decrease in thermal stress, and (V) consumption of thermal stress. These five aspects were favorable to the improvement of the thermal shock resistance of the ZrB2-SiC-ZrC ceramic. The isothermal oxidation of the ZrB2-SiC-ZrC ceramic was carried out in static air at 1600±15 ºC. In the different oxidation stages, quantitative models were proposed for predicting oxidation kinetics.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate thermal shock properties of the ATJ graphite using laser irradiation techniques. Cracks of thermal shock specimens are initiated by maximum tensile stress field. Thermal shock resistance of the ATJ graphite is correlated with thermal parameter and mechanical property. To simulate the thermal stress conditions of rocket nozzle throat for the evaluation of the thermal shock resistance of ATJ graphite, the laser irradiation was applied at the central area of disk specimen. Thermal shock resistance was related to the geometry, the maximum stress, and the thermal and mechanical property. Also the analyses of transient temperature and thermal stress were performed by the finite element method with nonlinear code ABAQUS. Analyses were specially performed for several kinds of shape to determine the minimum power density which could be cracked the specimen. The shape of the thermal shock specimen which was cracked under the lower power density was obtained and the result will be proved to the test.

Slide gates are installed at the bottom of a ladle or tundish to control the flow of molten steel. It plays an important role in ladle refining process and continuous casting. Al2O3-ZrO2-C refractories are widely used as slide gate materials due to its excellent corrosion and thermal shock resistance. At the start of casting, molten steel almost 1600°C passes through the bore of slide gate, the plate is rapidly heated up, the temperature difference between the bore and edge part, the slide gates are subject to large thermal gradients, so there is large thermal stress in the plate. This paper will show the results of our improved slide gates with good thermal shock resistance.

Shock Resistance

The thermal shock resistance of solids is analysed for a plate subjected to a sudden temperature change under the framework of hyperbolic, non-Fourier heat conduction. The closed form solution for the temperature field and the associated thermal stress are obtained for the plate without cracking. The transient thermal stress intensity factors are obtained through a weight function method. The maximum thermal shock temperature that the plate can sustain without catastrophic failure is obtained according to the two distinct criteria: (i) maximum local tensile stress criterion and (ii) maximum stress intensity factor criterion. The difference between the non-Fourier solutions and the classical Fourier solution is discussed. The traditional Fourier heat conduction considerably overestimates the thermal shock resistance of the solid. This confirms the fact that introduction of the non-Fourier heat conduction model is essential in the evaluation of thermal shock resistance of solids.
