Abstract
Erosion-resistant silicon carbide composite sintered material, produced from starting materials composed mainly of SiC and also containing ZrB.sub.2 added thereto in an amount up to 50 volume %, resist penetration of, and erosion by, molten metals (such as molten steel) and show high erosion resistance, while retaining the outstanding characteristics unique to silicon carbide, such as high resistance to oxidation, creep and abrasion, and high mechanical strength and impact resistance at high temperatures. Thus the products can be advantageously used as protective pipes for molten metals, crucibles, rollers, nozzles, dies, blow pipes, agitator blades, rotating shafts, inner linings and other structural members which are to be used while in contact with molten metals (particularly molten steel) or other high-temperature metal parts. The corrosion resistance is particularly outstanding when the sintered materials additionally include metallic aluminum or an aluminum compound such as Al.sub.4 C.sub.3, AlN, AlB.sub.2, and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in an amount ranging from 5 to 20 vol. % based on the silicon carbide, without detrimentally affecting the mechanical and oxidation resistance properties of the sintered materials.
