Abstract
The synthesis and properties of fusion-cast refractories in the Al2O3 – ZrO2 system studied by x-ray phase analysis and petrography are reported. The phase composition of synthetic materials is represented by corundum and ZrO2 monoclinic modification. Adding ZrO2 results in a decrease in the size of corundum crystals. The corrosion resistance of the synthetic refractories increases with ZrO2 concentration; still, further effort is needed to improve the fabricability of fusion-cast Al2O3 – ZrO2-based refractories.
