Abstract
Thermal shock behavior of porous ceramic nozzles with various pore sizes for continuous casting process of steel was investigated in terms of physical properties and microstucture. Porous nozzle samples with a composition of $Al_2O_3$-$SiO_2$-$ZrO_2$ were fabricatedby adding various sizes of graphite as the pore forming agent. As the graphite size increased from 45~75 to 150~180 ${\mu}m$, both the resulting pore size and the flexural strength also increased. A thermal shock test was carried out at temperatures (${\Delta}$T) of 600, 700, 800, and 900$^{\circ}C$. Microstructure analysis revealed a small number of cracks on the sample with the largest mean pore size of 22.32 ${\mu}m$. In addition, increasing the pore size led to a smaller decrease in both pressure drop and elastic modulus. In conclusion, controlling the pore size can enhance thermal shock behavior.
