Significance of Material Properties Change for Induction Furnace Wall

This book comprises significance of material properties change on induction furnace wall. The Induction Furnace wall made up of alumina ramming mass is considered for this study. Wall of the induction furnace always stay with heat fluctuations during working that tends to thermal fatigue failure. The aim of this study is to prepare a Finite Element Model of furnace wall to check temperature distribution and thermal stress distribution fields by using Ansys finite element analysis software which describes relationship between stress life and material properties. From this study, we will also conclude about effect of material properties like Poisson’s ratio & Elasticity Constant on the life cycle of induction furnace wall made up of alumina ramming mass. This analysis will describe direct or inverse proportionality of these material properties which affects the life cycle of induction furnace wall.
