Abstract
A refractory of the invention is used in casting operation, which has good spalling resistance and corrosion resistance. The refractory includes: 0.0357-2.6548 wt % of amorphous silica particles having a specific surface area within a range of 15-30 m.sup.2 /g; 8.8495-28.5612 wt % of alumina particles having a particle diameter within a range of 10-50 mm; 1.3986-18.1715 wt % of at least one of fused magnesia and sintered magnesia, which contains 0.6993-10.9041 wt % of magnesia having a maximum particle diameter under 44 .mu.m; 0.6993-13.630 wt % of alumina cement; and 45.4545-88.1417 wt % of alumina. When the refractory is used, at lease one of fused magnesia and sintered magnesia surrounds the alumina particles, which react together to generate spinel to thereby form micro-crack layer around the alumina particles for preventing propagation of cracks in a refractory structure.
