Abstract

To provide a high zirconia fused cast refractory having high durability, which hardly has cracks at the time of production of the refractory, during the heating, by temperature changes during use and during the cooling at the time of suspension of operation. A high zirconia fused cast refractory which has a chemical composition comprising from 88 to 96.5 mass % of ZrO 2 , from 2.5 to 9.0 mass % of SiO 2 , from 0.4 to 1.5 mass % of Al 2 O 3 , from 0.07 to 0.26 mass % of Na 2 O, from 0.3 to 1.3 mass % of K 2 O, from 0 to 0.3 mass % by outer percentage of Li 2 O, at most 0.08 mass % by outer percentage of B 2 O 3 , and at most 0.08 mass % by outer percentage of P 2 O 5 , and contains B 2 O 3 +P 2 O 5 in a content of at most 0.1 mass % by outer percentage.

Claims (5)

1. A high zirconia fused cast refractory which has a chemical composition comprising from 88 to 96.5 mass % of ZrO 2 , from 2.5 to 9.0 mass % of SiO 2 , from 0.4 to 1.5 mass % of Al 2 O 3 , from 0.07 to 0.26 mass % of Na 2 O, from 0.3 to 1.3 mass % of K 2 O, from 0 to 0.3 mass % by outer percentage of Li 2 O, at most 0.08 mass % by outer percentage of B 2 O 3 , and at most 0.08 mass % by outer percentage of P 2 O 5 , and contains B 2 O 3 +P 2 O 5 in a content of at most 0.1 mass % by outer percentage.

2. A high zirconia fused cast refractory which has a chemical composition comprising from 88 to 96.5 mass % of ZrO 2 , from 2.5 to 9.0 mass % of SiO 2 , from 0.4 to 1.5 mass % of Al 2 O 3 , from 0.07 to 0.26 mass % of Na 2 O, from 0.3 to 1.3 mass % of K 2 O, at most 0.08 mass % by outer percentage of B 2 O 3 , and at most 0.08 mass % by outer percentage of P 2 O 5 , and contains B 2 O 3 +P 2 O 5 in a content of at most 0.1 mass % by outer percentage.

3. The high zirconia fused cast refractory according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio (K 2 O/Na 2 O) of K 2 O to Na 2 O is from 1.5 to 15.

4. The high zirconia fused cast refractory according to claim 1 , which further contains from 0.05 to 3.8 mass % by outer percentage of Cs 2 O.

5. The high zirconia fused cast refractory according to claim 1 , which is for a glass melting furnace.
