Abstract: A material for producing pyrometric refractory components contains the following ingredients: alumina--65 to 83%, titanium dioxide--6 to 10%, and zirconium dioxide--11 to 25%. Said pyrometric refractory components are produced from the above material. The process for producing said components comprises mixing of the starting ingredients, introduction of a plasticizing additive into the resulting mixture, moulding of the components, initial and final firing. The present invention permits minimizing the time lag of pyrometric refractory components used in a system intended for monitoring the temperature and oxidized state of molten metals, ensuring simultaneous monitoring of the temperature and oxidized state of molten metals and enhancing the reliability of pyrometric refractory components in operation, which provides for simple, rapid and inexpensive monitoring of metal melting parameters.
