The invention relates to a refractory container 1 for use in a furnace for heat treatment of workpieces, comprising a mat 5 of long fibers that are embedded in a ceramic shell, with the mat 5 being shaped into a container that forms a receiving space for workpieces, and to a green body of such a container 1. Furthermore, advantageous uses of the container 1 as well as a method for manufacturing a green body or container 1 according to the invention are specified.

A refractory lining structure for a metallurgical vessel is characterized by at least one elongated expansion joint formed in and extending through the surface of the working lining in a substantially vertical direction. The elongated expansion joint accommodates thermal expansion of the working lining in a metallurgical vessel such as, for example, a tundish during preheating for a continuous casting operation. The elongated expansion joint decreases crack formation, delamination, and spalling of the working lining from underlying back-up linings and/or safety linings in metallurgical vessels during preheating and use, while still facilitating metal skull removal after the completion of metallurgical operations.

A hot repair material of refractory materials is provided and includes main materials and binding agents. The main materials include silicon carbide powders with six different particle sizes and a mass ratio according to particle sizes from large to small is 8:5:8:15:8:10. The binding agents include silicon nitride powders, a sodium silicate powder, an aluminum phosphate powder, a furfuryl alcohol, a silicone resin powder, a silica sol powder, an aluminum sol powder, a silicon oxide micronized powder, a vanadium oxide powder, a silicon powder, a borax and a rare earth oxide micronized powder, and a corresponding mass ratio is 20:10:4:1:5:1:1:2:0.5:0.5:0.5:0.5. The silicon carbide powders in the main materials have a good synergistic effect to improve strength of the repair material. The binding agents include low-, medium- and high-temperature binding agents for a full range of temperatures, so the repair material could gain strength continuously without a collapse temperature.
