Abstract:
Plasma-sprayed layers of aluminium oxide on a substrate are produced by using a pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide, for example selected from the group consisting of borosilicate and steel, as starting powder.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing metallic moulded bodies comprising a ceramic layer according to the membrane method, whereby a porous metallic membrane is used. The invention also relates to a metallic moulded body comprising a ceramic layer and to the use of one such metallic moulded body. The aim of the invention is to provide a cost-effective, rapid method which is as non-polluting as possible for producing metallic moulded bodies comprising a ceramic layer according to the membrane method using a porous metallic membrane, whereby the penetration depth, the green density and the deposition speed of the ceramic particles in the metallic membrane can he controlled. To this end, the porous metallic membrane is sealed by electrophoretic deposition of ceramic particles in the pores of the metallic membrane, the metallic membrane being arranged between two electrodes for the electrophoretic deposition, and the space between an electrode and the metallic membrane being filled with a dispersion containing the ceramic particles to be deposited in the pores and a dispersant.
Abstract:
A device of quartz glass for receiving or holding work pieces to be heated in a furnace, a region of the device projecting into the hot furnace zone having an arcuate part with a beginning of curvature and an end of curvature, which is enclosed by a vessel filled with an immersion liquid, heat radiation passed in the material of the device in a region located before the arcuate part due to total reflection being coupled out of the arcuate part and being coupled into the immersion liquid and a region of the device adjoining the arcuate part together with further device parts present at it being colder than the region located before the arcuate part.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing glass bodies, in which a thixotropic suspension of SiO.sub.2 particles having a diameter in the range from 10 to 500 nm in a dispersing liquid is formed into a green body, after which the green body is purified and sintered, the suspension has a solid:dispersing liquid weight ratio of from 1:1 to 1:1.5, is passed through sieves having an aperture size in the range from 3 to 300 .mu.m under the action of sound or ultrasound, the sieved suspension is then concentrated by pumping off a part of the dispersing liquid under a vacuum and under the influence of sound or ultrasound, such that a solid:dispersing liquid weight ratio of about 1.3:1 is obtained, after which the concentrated suspension is introduced into a mould, heated to a temperature below the boiling point of the dispersing liquid to form a green body. The green body thus obtained is removed from the mould, cooled, and converted to a glass body.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing glass or ceramic bodies in which an open-pore green body is formed from the starting material which is subjected to a purification process in a heated purification gas reacting with impurities present in the green body in such a manner that the device in which the green body to be purified is present is rinsed with flowing purification gas, is then sealed and subsequently evacuated until the gases present in the open-pore green bodies in the form of purification gas and gaseous reaction products have been removed, after which the purified green body is sintered, in which metallic impurities in the form of elements of the groups Ib, Va, VIa, VIIa, and/or VIII of the Periodic Table of Elements are converted into volatile complex compounds by a purification gas consisting of a carrier gas saturated with a sulphur-oxygen-halogen compound at a temperature in the range from 200.degree. to 500.degree. C.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing glass bodies, in which the starting material for the glass body, being monodispersed SiO.sub.2 particles (quartz-glass powder), is used to form an open-pore green body which is subjected to a purification process in which the impurities present in the green body react with a purifying gas which is heated to a temperature in the range from 600 to 900.degree. C., after which the green body is sintered, in which a two-stage heating-purification step is used, such that in the first stage SiO.sub.2 particles are heated until they are dense-sintered, i.e. they have no more micropores, and in the second stage the homogeneous open-pore green body formed from the dense-sintered SiO.sub.2 particles is purified in a known manner in the purification gaseous atmosphere and subsequently sintered.
Abstract:
Method and equipment for the manufacture of glass bodies with which a porous green body is formed from the starting material for the glass body in the form of an aqueous suspension with highly disperse solids content and this green body is then purified and sintered, the green body being deposited by separation of the phases of the suspension by electrophoresis.
