Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite material comprising wollastonite fibres embedded within a ceramic matrix. The wollastonite fibres are bonded to the ceramic matrix by a glassy bonding phase comprising a glass component comprising at least 80 wt % of oxides of calcium, silicon and aluminium. The material is used in the processing of molten metal, e.g. as a pump, degasser, flux injector or scrap submergence device.
