Abstract: β-Sialon/corundum composite refractories were prepared by using Al, Si metal powders, Al2O3 fine powder, and corundum aggregates as raw materials at
the temperatures lower than 1600℃by nitridation sintering process. It shows that β-Sialon (Si6-zAlzOzN8-z, corundum, 15R
phase appear in all the resultant products different in the contents of β-Sialon, 15R and the Z value of β-Sialon, even though only β-Sialon and corundum
phases are expected in designed materials. And the Z value of the produced β-Sialon is deviated from the designed value. Such facts were supposed to
be related to the reaction progress. Additionally, these β-Sialon/corundum composite refractories were tested by alkali, molten slag and steel. The results
show that composite refractories of β-Sialon with Z=1.5~2.5 have good alkali resistance and all of the composite refractories have good molten slag and steel resistance.

Key words: Sialon, corundum, composite refractories, nitridation-sintering process
