Abstract
Abstract This invention provides a graphite-alumina-silicon carbide base refractory having good erosion resistance, spalling resistance and durable for oxidizing attack at elevated temperature. This refractory contains more than 85 wt. percent of main components of graphite (including combined carbon), alumina and silicon carbide (the weight ratio of graphite:alumina:silicon carbide being 10-38:60-80:2-18), and these three main components are combined with each other by a carbon bond which contains glassy material (2-6 wt. percent) and forms the network structure.
