Technology for producing alumina-periclase-carbon refractories of the brands APUK-D and APU-D is developed and implemented. Use of complex antioxidant and carbon-binding additives makes it possible to improve strength properties for these refractories after reduction firing. Pilot plant tests of the refractories developed in the lining of the working layer of steel-pouring ladles confirmed a reduction in lining wear rate compared with that of standard series periclase-carbon refractories by a factor of 1.2 -1.5.
