摘要:
The invention relates to a crucible for the crystallization of silicon and to the preparation and application of release coatings for crucibles used in the handling of molten materials that are solidified in the crucible and then removed as ingots, and more particularly to release coatings for crucibles used in the solidification of polycrystalline silicon. The objective of the inventor was to provide a crucible which does not require the preparation of a very thick coating at the end user facilities, which is faster and cheaper to produce and which presents a stronger coating with an improved adherence to the walls. It has now been found that these problems can be solved with a crucible for the crystallization of silicon comprising a) a base body comprising a bottom surface and side walls defining an inner volume; b) an intermediate layer comprising 50 to 100 wt. % of silica at the surface of the side walls facing the inner volume; and c) a surface layer comprising 50 to 100 wt. % of silicon nitride, up to 50 wt. % of silicon dioxide and up to 20 wt % of silicon on the top of the intermediate layer.

The present invention relates to refractory articles in general having improved surface properties. The objective of the invention is to propose an improvement of the refractory articles comprised of a fused silica matrix which will overcome the some of the defects while keeping the excellent known properties of the fused silica matrix. This objective is reached when a sintered ceramic phase is present in the porosity of at least a portion of at least a surface of the matrix. The present invention also relates to a process for producing such an article.

A crucible for the treatment of molten silicon includes a basic body with a bottom surface and lateral walls defining an inner volume. The basic body comprises at least 65% by weight of silicon carbide, and from 12 to 30% by weight of a constituent selected from silicon oxide or nitride. Moreover, the basic body comprises at least one silicon oxide and/or nitride coating, at least on the surfaces defining the inner volume of the crucible.

A protective coating is prepared for, and applied to, crucibles used in the handling of molten materials that are solidified in the crucible and then removed as ingots. Crucibles containing this protective coating may be used for the solidification of silicon. The coating has a specified oxygen content and contains a mineral binder and silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride.

The invention concerns a fired magnesia-carbon shape having a combination of properties making it especially suitable for slide gate plates, inserts for such plates and for pouring nozzles useful in casting aggressive steels. The fired refractory shape is formed from a batch consisting essentially of, by weight percent,2 to 8 finely divided graphite (natural or synthetic);3 to 8 aluminum metal powder;1 to 5 of finely divided silica and/or a silicon yielding powder;an effective amount of carbon bond forming resins;and the balance coarse and fine magnesia grains.The magnesia grains should contain less than about 0.02 weight percent boron oxide. After firing, the shape is characterized by a carbon bonding system including a spinel (magnesia-alumina) phase plus aluminum carbide bonding the magnesia-carbon matrix. The refractory shape is preferably carbon impregnated after firing to further enhance its properties.

摘要:
A crucible and method for the crystallization of silicon utilize release coatings. The crucible is used in the handling of molten materials that are solidified in the crucible and then removed as ingots. The crucible does not require the preparation of a very thick coating at the end user facilities, is faster and cheaper to produce, presents an improved release effect and allows the production of silicon ingot without cracks. The crucible includes a base body, a substrate layer containing silicon nitride, an intermediate layer containing silica, and a surface layer containing silicon nitride, silicon dioxide and silicon.
