摘要 |
A large-format fireclay refractory brick (1), in particular bottom block in a tin bath, made of a material from the system Al2O3-SiO2, consists of a block (2) having a top surface (3) contacting the tin bath when in use. The top surface (3) of the block (2) is covered with a coating (13) containing alkali silicate in order to form a separating layer on the top surface (3) of the block (2). The separating layer is adapted for glazing and acts as a capturing material for the sodium from the tin bath due to the decreased offer of Al2O3 and the increased offer of alkali and silica in the coating (13) compared with the material of the block (2).
