A method for forming a refractory component of foundry system includes forming a preform from a refractory mixture. The refractory mixture includes a silicon carbide preceramic polymer and at least one of a refractory powder or refractory aggregate. The method further includes heating the preform to pyrolyze the silicon carbide preceramic polymer and form a refractory material defining the refractory component. The resulting refractory material includes at least one of the refractory powder or the refractory aggregate in a silicon carbide matrix. The refractory component defines an oxidation-resistant surface configured to contact molten metal.

The invention relates to a refractory product, a batch for producing the product, a method for producing the product, and a use of the refractory product.

The invention relates to a composition for preparing a green body for the manufacture of a refractory carbon-bonded product, a method for preparing such a green body and a green body prepared by such a method.

A castable refractory composition may include from 5% to 95% by weight of alumina, aluminosilicate, or mixtures thereof; from 0.5% to 1.5% by weight alkaline earth metal oxide and/or hydroxide, and 0.1% to 5% by weight of silica having a surface area of at least about 10 m.sup.2/g. The refractory composition may include no more than 0.5% by weight of cementitious binder. The refractory composition may release less than 25 cm.sup.3 of hydrogen gas per kilogram of castable refractory composition upon addition of water. The refractory compositions may set on addition of water.
