摘要:
Isopipes (13) for making a glass or a glass-ceramic using a fusion process are provided. The isopipes are made from a silicon nitride refractory material that is: (a) produced in block form in an atmosphere having a pO2 of less than 0.1 using less than 10 weight percent of one or more sintering aids, (b) machined into an isopipe configuration, and (c) exposed to a partial pressure of oxygen equal to or greater than 0.1 for a period of time and at a temperature sufficient to form a SiO2 layer (31) which exhibits substantially only a passive oxidation mechanism. The SiO2 layer (31) serves as a protective barrier for further oxidation of the silicon nitride during use of the isopipe (13). The isopipes (13) exhibit less sag during use than isopipes composed of zircon.
摘要:
A system, method, and ink for printing a data carrying mark on a green ceramic honeycomb structure is provided. The system includes a printer having an ink jet print head that prints a mark, preferably in the form of a two-dimensional data matrix barcode, on a side wall of the green ceramic honeycomb structure. The ink may be a heat resistant ink that comprises a mixture of a glass or glass ceramic frit and a metal oxide colorant. An optical reader is provided for determining if the data is accurately reproduced in the printed mark, as well as any noise factor which may be present due to defective printing. The system includes a turntable that positions the green body for the printing operation, and then rotates the green body to position the printed mark first in front of a dryer, and then in front of the optical reader to determine the quality of the mark. Marked green and ceramic honeycombs are also provided as well as a method for repairing a defective applied bar code on a honeycomb structure.

A ceramic block consisting essentially of substantially homogeneous (Y2O3)χ P2O5, where 0.95≦x≦1.05, having length LL, a width WW and a height HH, and a volume W of at least 8×10−3 m3 essentially free of cracks throughout the volume, a density of at least 85% of the theoretical maximal density of Y203.P2O5 under standard conditions, and a creep rate CR at 1250° C. and 6.89 MPa; where CR≦8.0×10−6 hour−1 and method for making the same. The method utilizes a dry process where the starting YP04-based ceramic material is synthesized by reacting anhydrous P2O5 with dry Y2O3 powder.

摘要:
A method for printing a data-carrying mark on a portion of an unfinished ceramic structure, such as the green body Of a ceramic honeycomb structure; is disclosed that is capable of producing a mark that maintains legibility even after being fired to temperatures above 1100° C. or higher, or even 1300° C. or higher. The data-carrying mark is formed from a deposit of colorant solids overlying a portion of the unfinished ceramic structure. The volume of colorant solids per unit area of marked wall portion that is at least twice as much as that required to obtain maximum pre-fired visual contrast between marked and unmarked portions of the structure (i.e., prior to firing). The colorant solids may include one or more of cobalt, nickel, iron, chromium, copper, manganese and titanium, either in metallic or oxide form, and are preferably deposited in particulate form via a high temperature ink composition that prints the data-carrying mark by way of an ink jet print head. The data-carrying mark may be a digital pattern of marked and unmarked wall portions such as a bar code.

摘要:
Barcode markings such as two-dimensional data matrices, and methods for using them, according to which ceramic or other articles are imprinted with condensed barcode patterns having printed bars or cells of reduced dimensions as compared with the dimensions of the non-printed bars or cells, and with further processing or use of the articles thereafter causing dilation of the condensed bar or cell patterns to provide patterns with printed and non-printed bars or cells of comparable dimensions.
