Anisotropy of fracture mechanical properties of carbon-containing refractories and its impact on cracking in a steel ladle lining

Cracks are occasionally observed in bricks installed in steel ladle sidewalls. Three magnesia-carbon refractories used in steel ladles were investigated in terms of the anisotropy of the mechanical properties and their possible contribution to crack formation. The main differences between these bric...
