A refractory composition for use in the manufacture of pipes for casting steel, the composition consisting essentially of: (a) from 96 to 98% by weight of zirconia which is partially stabilized by CaO, MgO or Y2O3, at least 90% of which has a particle size of between 0.1 and 10 mu m, and (b) from 2 to 4% by weight of an aluminous hydraulic binder, this composition having the following overall chemical analysis: 1.4 to 3.2% by weight of Al2O3, 3.7 to 4.6% by weight of CaO, or 0.36 to 1.15% by weight of CaO plus 2.7 to 3.5% by weight of MgO, or 0.36 to 1.15% by weight of CaO plus 5.36 to 8.80% of Y2O3, less than 1% by weight of SiO2+Na2O+Fe2O3+TiO2 taken together, and ZrO2 to make up to 100%. |
