Abstract

At the present time, experiment is a reliable method for studying the thermal conductivity of new ceramic materials and especially refractories. However, the range and possibilities of existing devices do not meet the requirements for measuring thermal conductivity, especially at a high temperature. At very high thermal loads under the conditions of formation of surface columnar crystal structures, thermoelastic stresses, disturbances in vibration of the elementary lattice, and other phenomena, the thermal conductivity can be a function of the temperature drop. The present paper concerns the physical fundamentals of heat conduction in current ceramic materials and refractories based on MgO, A12O3, and Si3N4. The classical stationary and nonstationary methods for determining thermal conductivity are considered. Special attention is devoted high-temperature processes and the difficulties arising in this case. It is recommended to solve high-temperature problems by using methods based on solving inverse problems of heat conduction
