The sintering characteristics of the SiC-Clay-Kaolin chamotte system were studied by addition of $Al_2O_3$ for the manufacture of silicate-bonded silicon carbide refractories at $1350^{\circ}C$. The sinterbilit of SiC-Binder mixture was measured by apparent porosity and compressive strength. And its mineral compositions were identified with X-ray diffractometer. The following results were obtained; 1) Optimum amount of mixed clay ($\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3$ 40 wt% mixed) as a binder was about 25wt% 2) Appropriate mixing ratio of mixed Kaolin chamotte ($\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3$ 40wt% mixed) was about 30wt% in the clay Kaolin chamotte binder. 3) Variation of apparent porosity and compressive strength of sintered SiC-binder mixture fired at $1350^{\circ}C$ were due to the sinterbility of clay.
