Refractory member and method of producing the same

Abstract

Provided is a refractory member that is excellent in corrosion resistance and excellent in the adhesiveness of a carbide coating disposed on a surface of a graphite material base. The refractory member includes: a graphite material base; and a carbide layer disposed to coat at least a part of a surface of the graphite material base. In the refractory member, the graphite material base includes a graphite material phase and a pore, the carbide layer includes a composite region, and the composite region includes an alternating region in which a continuous graphite material phase of at least 50 μm or more and a continuous carbide phase of at least 50 μm or more alternately exist in a horizontal direction along an interface between the graphite material base and the carbide layer, as viewed in a cross section along the thickness direction of the carbide layer.
