Patent ID: 10815155

Abstract:
To provide a high-zirconia electrocast refractory in which occurrence of cracks in manufacture and occurrence of cracks in use as a furnace material is further reduced while maintaining extremely high corrosion resistance to molten glass. The high-zirconia electrocast refractory contains 96.7 to 98.5 mass % of ZrO2, 0.8 to 2.7 mass % of SiO2, 0 to 0.2 mass % of Na2O, 0.21 to 1 mass % of K2O, 0.1 to 0.4 mass % of Al2O3, and does not substantially contain B2O3, in terms of oxide, as a chemical composition, wherein contents of the Na2O and the K2O satisfy a relation of following Formula (1) 0.15 mass %≤CK2O/2+CNa2O≤0.6 mass %  (1) where CK2O is the content of K2O and CNa2O is the content of Na2O, and each of the contents is expressed by mass % in the refractory.
