Abstract

The potential for fused cast ceramic refractories to release stones into molten material with which it is in contact is reduced by subjecting the refractory to a vacuum pretreatment to remove gases from the glassy phase of the refractory. Preferably the treatment is carried out when the refractory is in a molten state.
