摘要:
A ceramic die for cutting and shaping lead frames, in which at least a working section thereof is made of a specific ceramic material having an iron and cobalt content of less than 100 ppm in total. The ceramic die can be formed in a complex shape with a high precision and has a prolonged lifetime because of its superior mechanical properties, such as high wear resistance and high strength, and less probability of adhesion of foreign matter such as solder or the lead frame material thereto. Even if the solder or lead frame material is adhered onto the die, the adhered matter can be removed through a simple procedure in a shortened time. The die is further improved by depositing a hard carbon film onto the surface of the working section.

The furnace includes a furnace core chamber defined by at least one partition inside the furnace to prevent an atmosphere containing more than about 30 ppm of carbon monoxide from contacting said silicon nitride sintered body. At least an inner surface of the partition is made of a carbon-free heat-proof material which prevents formation of carbon monoxide gas in an atmosphere in contact with the silicon nitride sintered body during sintering. The furnace also includes a gas supply pipe for supplying an N.sub.2 gas or an inactive gas including an N.sub.2 gas into the furnace core. Also provided is a sintering case made of a vessel defining a sintering atmosphere. The vessel has an opening for loading an object to be sintered into the vessel. At least an inner surface of the vessel is made of a carbon-free heat proof material which prevents the formation of carbon monoxide gas in the sintering atmosphere.

The surface layer of the aluminum nitride powder may contain, besides the aluminum oxynitride, at least one other oxynitride selected from among oxynitrides of Mg, Ca, Ba, Ti, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, Ge, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Hf, Ta, W, Li, B, Si, Y, Sc and rare metal elements and the aluminum oxynitride and at least one other oxynitride have a total oxygen content in the range of 10 to 75 mol % in terms of (3.times.oxygen amount)/(3.times.oxygen amount+nitrogen amount). The alumina nitride powder can easily be converted into a sintered body having excellent sinterability and favorable characteristics, since the above surface layer reduces the penetration of oxygen from the surface layer into the crystal grains and prevents the formation of microcracks layer.

The present invention relates to improvement of a quadrupole electrode for use in a mass spectrometer or the like, in which two pairs of electrode rods 1, 2, 3 and 4 formed in such a manner that the section of the opposed face of each rod is hyperbolic or circular, and each electrode rod is made of a ceramic and the surface of the electrode is coated with a coating layer 5 of a conductive metal.
