Abstract
An improved silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide refractory is disclosed. The improvement results from coating the silicon carbide grains with, or introducing into the bond during the mix preparation step, zirconium orthosulfate. The resulting product has higher moduli of rupture and elasticity as compared to prior art compositions where zirconia is introduced into the bond.
