A method of treating formed refractory articles for protection against attack by molten aluminum metal, including the steps of impregnating surface portions of the formed articles with an aqueous solution of magnesium fluosilicate and heating to decompose the magnesium fluosilicate for producing, in situ, fluoride values that inhibit wetting of the treated surfaces by the molten metal. Colliodal alumina may be incorporated in the impregnating solution. A silicate coating may be applied over the impregnated surface portions; in such case, the coating when dried is itself impregnated with a further application of magnesium fluosilicate solution. The treated articles have anti-wetting fluoride values on or in their surface portions and exhibit enhanced resistance to attack by molten aluminum. |
