Abstract:
A refractory batch or refractory material for producing a shaped body, comprising:at least one refractory metal oxide component, a blinder component including resin or pitch, antioxidants as required, at least one carbon carrier, and reinforcement fibers which are formed from a stainless steel material, the stainless steel material being ductile melt-spun fibers so that, at the temperatures of use, the refractory metal oxide component coats the ductile melt-spun fibers, whereby the reinforcement fibers do not store any significant energy of compression or deformation when the refractory batch or refractory material is pressed into the shaped body, so that any elasticity, which would cause the shaped body to return to its original shape due to restoring forces, does not occur.
