Thermodynamics for Refractories and High Temperature Ceramic Materials
Prof. In-Ho Jung
Seoul National University, Corea
For understanding the phase transformation and chemical degradation of refractories and high temperature ceramic (HTC) materials under their severe service environments, accurate thermodynamic data and phase diagrams of the related multicomponent systems are necessary. Due to the limitation of experimental information, computational thermodynamic calculations using the CALPHAD database are widely used for refractories and HTC materials.
This lecture covers (1) fundamentals of the CALPHAD thermodynamic database, (2) thermodynamic database for refractory and HTC materials, (3) corrosion of refractories by slag, (4) degradation of refractories under H2 environment, (5) corrosion of environmental barrier coating and ultra high temperature ceramics, etc.
