| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a method of forming a refractory article including the step of forming a refractory material powder into an intermediate body having a shape and size corresponding to the desired shape and size of the article, chosing a carbide-forming metal or alloy as material for the intermediate body, exposing the intermediate body formed to a gaseous hydrocarbon or a mixture of hydrocarbons at a temperature exceeding the decomposition temperature for the hydrocarbon or hydrocarbons until the mass of the intermediate body has increased by at least 3 %, and thereafter exposing the intermediate body to a temperature of 1000-1700 °C in an inert atmosphere if the temperature during the foregoing method step was too low to ensure a complete carbidization of the intermediate body. The invention also relates to an article produced by said method.</p> |
