The thermal and mechanical properties of the materials were measured using standard laboratory procedure. The samples were dried at 110 degreesC and then transferred into electric furnace at 400, 600 and NOT and held there for 30 min. Samples were then moved into water and left there for 3 minutes. A quenching simulation was made for three different temperatures (400, 600 and 800 degreesC) using ANSYS 6.0 package. The finite element study was carried out using two-dimensional models. The refractory material was assumed to be homogenous and isotropic. Time dependence of temperature and thermal stress were calculated in surface and center of the plate specimen subjected to the thermal shock by quenching in water.EnglishArticle; Proceedings Paper
