FIELD: continuous casting of steel with use of refractory members. SUBSTANCE: part has body of refractory material containing carbon. Outer layer covers partially or wholly body of part. At heating until temperature equal to 1000 C or more, gas-tight oxidized compacted layer is formed on said outer layer. EFFECT: preventing deposition of oxides of melt steel on part, elimination of pouring duct jamming due to provision of gas-tight layer. 16 cl, 6 dwg, 1 ex
