The microstructure and phase analysis of in situ nitrides formation in MgAl2O4-C refractory were investigated with different temperature. The phase compositions and microstructure of the MgAl2O4-C refractory were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that sintering temperature has a significant influence on the microstructure and phase analysis of MgAl2O4 refractory. As the sintering temperatures are 1450°C and 1500°C, nitride that formed in samples is β-Sialon and the crystal morphology is columnar with short size. With the temperature rise to 1550°C and 1600°C, nitride formed in sample is AlON with the crystal morphology is tabular polymorph with large size.
