Abstract
Abstract A casting nozzle for molten steel with improved spalling resistance and corrosion resistance is prepared by kneading a raw material consisting of 42 to 93% by weight of an alumina simple substance powder, 4 to 44% of a graphite simple substance powder and 10 to 27% by weight of a fused silica simple substance powder after adding a binder thereto, pelletizing the resultant mixture, pressing the pellets with a rubber press, and sintering the pressed nozzle at a low temperature within a range such that the resultant nozzle may have the characteristics attributable to the addition of alumina, graphite and fused silica.
