    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 method of converting a polycrystalline ceramic body to a single crystal body includes the steps of doping the polycrystalline ceramic material with a conversion-enhancing dopant and then heating the polycrystalline body at a selected temperature for a selected time sufficient to convert the polycrystalline body to a single crystal. The selected temperature is less than the melting temperature of the polycrystalline material and greater than about one-half the melting temperature of the material. In the conversion of polycrystalline alumina to single crystal alumina (sapphire), examples of conversion-enhancing dopants include cations having a +3 valence, such as chromium, gallium, and titanium. The polycrystalline body further can be inhomogeneously doped to form a first portion of the polycrystalline body that is doped to the selected level of the conversion-enhancing dopant and a second portion that is not doped such that heating the doped polycrystalline body causes conversion of first portion to a single crystal structure and the second portion retains a polycrystalline structure.

    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.

    摘要: Solderable, largely base metal electrodes for metal oxide varistors are fabricated by screen printing an electrically conductive, air-fireable base metal composition on a varistor material substrate. A distributed fine noble metal array is screen printed over the screened base metal and the varistor heated in air at a temperature of between approximately 500.degree. C. and 800.degree. C. The varistor leads are easily solderable to the noble metal array.

    摘要: A molded case circuit breaker and current suppressing unit protects an electric motor without tripping during motor current reversal. The circuit breaker trip unit provides long time, short time and instantaneous over current protection against abnormal overload and low-current short circuit currents within the protected circuit. The current suppressing unit rapidly suppresses high-current short circuit currents until the circuit breaker responds to isolate the protected equipment.
