Abstract

AbstractRefractory materials have a wide range of applications in the steel‐making industry for example as lining of furnaces, oxygen converters or for ladles. Often, magnesia carbon bricks (MgO‐C) are used. These are made of a periclase phase (MgO) with carbon inclusions and pores. In their applications, refractories are subjected to thermal and mechanical loads causing damage. The thermo‐mechanical behaviour of MgO‐C composites and hence their thermal stability could be improved significantly using cellular MgO‐C composites based on carbon foams [1, 2]. The present contribution focuses on the development of a fully coupled phenomenological thermo‐mechanical continuum model based on the theory of porous media (TPM) with a new kinematic coupling of the displacement field of all constituents.
