    摘要: 845 A method of producing a ceramic-metal-halide (CMH) discharge lamp having a monolithic seal between a sapphire (single crystal alumina) arc tube and a polycrystalline alumina end cap. The method includes the steps of providing an arc tube of fully dense sapphire and providing an end cap made of unsintered compressed polycrystalline alumina powder. The end cap is heated until it is presintered to remove organic binder material at a low temperature relative to the sintering temperature. The presintered end cap is placed on an end portion of the arc tube to form an interface therebetween. The assembled presintered end cap and arc tube are then heated to the sintering temperature wherein the end cap is fully sintered onto the arc tube and the sapphire tube grows into the end cap. A monolithic seal is formed at the previous interface between the end cap and the arc tube as the sapphire tube grows into the polycrystalline alumina end cap.

    摘要: A solid state process for the bulk conversion of a dense polycrystalline ceramic body to a single crystal body has been accomplished by heating the polycrystalline material to a temperature above one-half of the melting temperature of the material but below the melting point of the material. As the process is a solid state process, no melting of the ceramic body is necessary to convert it to a single crystal. The process has been used to convert a dense polycrystalline alumina body (PCA) containing less than 100 wppm of magnesia to sapphire (single crystal alumina) by heating the PCA to temperatures above 1100.degree. C. but below 2050.degree. C., the melting point of alumina.

    摘要: A solid state seed crystal process for bulk conversion of a polycrystalline ceramic body to a single crystal body (of the same chemical composition) having the same crystal orientation as the seed crystal. The process comprises heating said body to form a monolithic join between the body and the seed crystal, heating the joined structure to reduce grain growth inhibitors and further heating the joined structure above the minimum temperature required for crystallite growth of the crystalline material, but not hot enough to melt and distort the original shape of the polycrystalline ceramic body during its conversion to a single crystal. This process has been used to convert polycrystalline alumina (PCA) bodies to sapphire having the same crystal orientation as the seed crystal by heating the PCA body, monolithically joined to a sapphire seed crystal, at a temperature above 1700.degree. C. without melting the body.

    摘要: A solid step process for convening a polycrystalline body to a single crystal body includes the steps of forming a selected surface topography on the body and then heating the body at a temperature below its melting temperature for a time sufficient to substantially convert the polycrystalline material to single crystal material. The surface topography includes depressions or protrusions from the body having sidewalls of the polycrystalline material that are disposed to intersect one another at junctions forming relatively sharp corners, and the dimensions of the sidewalls are greater than the average grain size of the polycrystalline material. Typically alumina is the polycrystalline material and surface features include grooves or the like. The patterned alumina body with the selected surface topography is heated to a temperature between 1800.degree. and 2000.degree. C. in one or more cycles to convert the polycrystalline alumina to sapphire.
