The invention relates to a
refractory material which is heat-treated at a temperature of at least 1300 DEG C, preferably 1300 DEG C to 1750 DEG C, such that the
refractory material has a needle-like structure and comprises a combination of a first phase, a second phase and a
third phase, in which: the first phase comprises, with respect to the total fraction of the first phase, 2-10% by weight of C, lt by weight; 5% by weight of N, 30%-40% by weight of O, 50%-70% by weight of Al, and lt by weight; 5% of Si; the second phase comprises, with reference to the total fraction of the second phase, 1%-7% by weight of C, 3%-8% by weight of N, 25%-35% by weight of O, 55%-65% by weight of Al and lt by weight; 5% of Si; with reference to the total fraction of the
third phase, the
third phase comprises, by weight percent, lt; the aluminum
alloy comprises, by weight, 7% of C, 14%-28% of N, 10%-15% of O, 52%-63% of Al and 1t, with the balance being Al and inevitable impurities. 20% of Si; the invention also relates to a filler for producing a
refractory material, to a
green body produced from the filler, to a method for producing a refractory material, and to the use of a refractory material.
