The invention relates to a sintered alumina product comprising, by weight percent, more than 99.95 % alumina (Al2O3), the alumina grain size being between 0.2 and 1.5 µm and having a density of greater than 99.95 % of the theoretical density of alumina.
摘要:
A translucent polycrystalline material suitable for use in ceramic discharge vessels for metal halide lamps is produced by sintering an alumina powder doped with a MgO sintering aid in a nitrogen atmosphere containing a partial pressure of a vapor phase carbon-containing species. The sintered polycrystalline alumina has a grain boundary phase containing aluminum, oxygen and nitrogen. The formation of the AI-O-N grain boundary phase is believed to facilitate the transport of nitrogen from entrapped pores during sintering. Preferably, the PCA is sintered in a carbon-element furnace under flowing ultra-high-purity nitrogen.

The invention relates to the field of ceramics, more specifically to a corundum material that is suitable for imitating colored corundum gems (rubies and sapphires) due to the optical properties thereof, and a method for producing molded objects from said material. The aim of the invention is to develop a corundum material that is provided with a corundum grain size which is as small as possible and a chromophoric dopant distribution which is as homogeneous as possible. Said aim is achieved by a colored transparent corundum material which is made of a polycrystalline sub-µm structure having an average particle size of

To prevent occurrence of cracks without employing such a method as the precision control of sealing frit or the increase of capillary thickness. As a means for solution, about 20 times as much magnesium oxide as for a barrel portion (2) having an arcing space was added to form a capillary (3), followed by calcination at 1,200 DEG C. And after it had been connected to the separately formed barrel portion (2), the assembly was calcined again at 1,200 DEG C, and fired in a hydrogen atmosphere at 1,850 DEG C for 3 hours, with the result that whereas the mean alumina particle size for the barrel portion (2) was 32 mu m, the mean particle size for the capillary (3) was 19 mu m, giving an increase in strength.

The invention relates to highly dense transparent aluminum oxide (alumina) and structures thereof for applications where, e.g. in the lighting industry, a fine crystal size has to be obtained and stabilized for use at temperatures of 800°C or more. The invention also relates to an electric lamp having a discharge tube with a wall of such a ceramic. The alumina according to the invention is provided with an additive and has an average crystal size = 2µm, and a relative density higher than 99.95% with a real in-line transmission RIT = 30%, preferably > 40% and more preferably > 50%, measured over an angular aperture of at most 0.50 at a sample thickness of 0.8 mm and with a single wave-length of light λ of preferably 645nm, and the additive comprises at least one of the substances from the group consisting of oxides of Mg, Y, Er and La.

摘要:
A ceramic envelope for high intensity discharge lamp comprises: a cylindrical barrel section 1 that forms an electric discharge light emitting space; annular closing sections, that close both ends of the barrel section 1, respectively; and capillary sections 3 for receiving an electric discharge electrode to be protruded so as to be opposed to each other from the substantial center of both of the closing sections. The envelope essentially consists of alumina, and is formed to have light transmission properties by adding MgO. The thickness of the barrel section at the boundary between the barrel section 1 and the closing section 2 is formed to be increased in thickness relative to the thickness in the vicinity of the center of the electric discharge light emitting space by providing a tapered section 4a. In this way, there is provided an envelope of high light emission for high intensity discharge lamp capable of extending the surface life of the lamp, even if the electric discharge space is cylindrical.
摘要:
A method of forming hollow bodies of ceramic material suitable for use as the discharge vessels of high intensity discharge lamps comprises forming a fugitive core of substantially pure graphite having a configuration matching the interior configuration of the hollow body. A flowable powder, including binders, of the ceramic material is formed and added to fill the annular space between a flexible elastomeric mold defining the outer contour and the fugitive core defining the inner contour. The ceramic powder is isostatically compressed in the mold about the core to form a sub-assembly. The sub-assembly is removed from the mold, heated at a rate and time and in a suitable atmosphere to volatilize the fugitive core, and subsequently the sub-assembly is sintered to form the hollow body.
