20080280152 | Fireproof Molded Articles or Materials and Method for the Production Thereof - The invention relates to fireproof molded articles or materials as well as a method for obtaining a high-strength binding phase in magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconia mullite, zirconium dioxide, magnesium aluminate spinel, bauxite, yttrium oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, or boron nitride products, or mixtures of carbon-bonded products, such as pressed carbon-bonded rocks, carbon-bonded slide plates or carbon-bonded submerged nozzles or cast carbon-containing and/or carbon-bonded products or carbon-bonded stoppers, which have improved mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. The binding matrix of the fireproof molded articles or materials contains titanium carbide phases and/or titanium carbonitride phases. The fireproof molded articles or materials are composed of oxidic and/or non-oxidic and/or carbon-containing fireproof grains based on a carbonized mixture and a binding agent to which fine-grained titanium dioxide, ilmenite, FeTiO | 11-13-2008 |
