The Simulation Analysis of Coupled Stress Field of New Silicon Carbide Brick for Metallurgical Furnace

Abstract

With the given the boundary and initial conditions, the analysis of internal thermal stress and mechanical stress field distribution was conducted on the special silicon carbide bricks for metallurgical furnace. By the simulation of ANSYS, the results show that a high temperature gradient and thermal stress in the special silicon carbide bricks, with great distortion of pipe within the bricks and a low level of mechanical stress, and the mutual offsetting between mechanical stress and thermal stress in some areas. Key words: metallurgy; new; silicon carbide; thermal stress; mechanical stress.
