Abstract
A silicon carbide-natured refractory block includes a fire-resistant block body, and a calcination coated layer. The fire-resistant block body includes a silicon carbide-natured refractory having a predetermined configuration. The calcination coated layer includes silicon oxide made by heating an outer superficial portion of the fire-resistant block body to oxidize at least some of silicon carbide therein to turn the silicon carbide into the silicon oxide. The silicon oxide sinters the calcination coated layer to increase the corrosion resistance.

- (canceled)
A process for producing a silicon carbide-natured refractory block comprising:
- a step of forming a castable block with a predetermined configuration cast by pouring a castable into a mold, the castable including silicon carbide in an amount of 50% by mass or more when the entire body is taken as 100% by mass,
- a step of calcining the castable block in the presence of oxygen and oxidizing at least a part of silicon carbide to be silicon oxide.
