The invention relates to a particulate powder, said powder having a median circularity of greater than 0.87 wt % and less than 9.0 wt % of particles having a size greater than 100 &#x3bc;m. The powder and at least 80 wt % of the particles have a chemical composition in wt % on the basis of the oxides and for a total of 100%: CrO+AlO+ZrO+MgO+FeO+SiO+TiO&#x2267;90%; CrO+AlO+MgO&#x2267;60%; CrO&#x2267;9%; 20%&#x2267;SiO&#x2267;0.5%; and other oxides: &#x2266;10%. The invention can be used for a glass furnace.

Chromium oxide powder

A device selected from among a glass furnace and a channel for dispensing the glass comprising a block and/or a coating made of a sintered material obtained by sintering a particular mixture comprising a chromium oxide content, indicated as 'CrT', of between 10% and 82%. The die fraction is such that 0.39&#xb7;(CrT)+24&#x3c;CrM&#x3c;0.39&#xb7;(CrT)+52, CrM denoting the chromium oxide content by weight of the die fraction in wt % on the basis of the oxides of the die, and the aggregate is such that xII&#x2267;97%, xIII&#x2267;70%, and xIV&#x2266;xIII&#x2212;70%, CrG denoting the chromium oxide content by weight of one grain in wt % on the basis of the oxides of said grain.
