A refractory material for repairing blast furnaces, which is composed of 100 parts by weight of a base material chiefly consisting of at least one powdery refractory material selected from the group consisting of SiO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, MgO, Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3, ZrO.sub.3, CaO and FeO.sub.2 and containing, if necessary, 0.5 to 5.0 parts by weight of iron ore powder, fibrous metal or inorganic substance, 4 to 40 parts by weight of a bituminous material consisting of a petroleum pitch or coal tar pitch in the solid, or liquid phase with a softening point ranging from 70 to 250.degree. C, and 10 to 35 parts by weight of a liquid oil consisting of a mineral oil, fish oil or vegetable oil and containing, if necessary, 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a thermosetting synthetic resin, thermosoftening synthetic resin or natural resin.

Refractory material for repairing blast furnaces

Tuyeres for a blast furnace are disclosed wherein a coating is formed on the inner and outer peripherential surfaces of the tuyere body by subjecting the surfaces to a calorizing treatment to diffuse a diffusion agent comprising a powdery mixture of alumina and aluminum at a treating temperature of about 800.degree. C. The tuyere body is shaped so as to form an inner jacket, and the walls of the tuyere body forming the inner jacket may also be subjected to a calorizing treatment.
