摘要:
A heat insulating ceramic insert-cast article for an internal combustion engine, comprising a ceramic liner and a metallic member enclosing an outer periphery of the ceramic liner. The ceramic liner is adapted to contact exhaust gases. A joint boundary between the ceramic liner and the metallic member is constituted by contact faces at which the ceramic liner contacts the metallic member and heat insulating air layers at which the ceramic liner and the metallic member do not contact each other. A process for producing such a heat insulating ceramic insert-cast article is also disclosed. First, the outer periphery of the ceramic liner is covered with the heat insulating layer which is partially formed with cuts, and then the ceramic liner is enclosed with a molten metal in the state that the ceramic liner is covered with the layer. Thus, the metal flows into the cuts and solidifies therein to form contact faces between the ceramic liner and the metal, while portions at which the metal does not flow inside due to the pressure of the layer are converted to heat insulating layers.

Ceramic materials to be insert-cast are disclosed, which each contain not less than 65% by volume of aluminum titanate as a crystalline phase, and have an average particle diameter of crystals thereof being not less than 10 .mu.m, Young's modulus of 50 to 2,000 kgf/mm.sup.2, compression strength of 5 to 40 kgf/mm.sup.2, and porosity of 5 to 35%. Ceramic port liners are also disclosed, which are free from cracking due to compression force during insert-casting, peeling-off during use, and facilitate insert-casting. To attain this, a reinforcement which meets either one or both of requirements that differences in coefficient of thermal expansion at 800.degree. C. and Young's modulus between the reinforcement and a material constituting the port liner body are in a range of .+-.0.1% and in a range of .+-.1,000 kgf/mm.sup.2, respectively, is filled into a depressed portion at an outer peripheral surface of the port liner body to form an integrated structure with a flat or swelled surface. Alternatively, the outer peripheral surface of the port liner body is worked to give uneven portions at a joining surface of the port liner body to a metal to insert-cast the port liner. Another alternative is to utilize a stress-releasing slit formed in a wall of the port liner body. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic port liner body may be covered with a ceramic sheet which is irreversively expandable by heating.

Catalyst carriers made of cordierite honeycomb structures having low thermal expansion, porosities of not exceeding 30%, high strengths and thin partition walls with high cell density or low cell density are provided by using very fine particles of kaoline and talc which are considered heretofore disadvantageous for producing such catalyst carriers. The catalyst carriers are useful in a broader use field than conventional ones, particularly as catalyst carriers for purifying exhaust gases exited from automobile engines.

摘要:
In a method for effectively producing ceramic manifolds for thermally insulating exhaust channels, an intermediate product is first formed by drain casting which includes a main ceramic pipe having a plurality of branch pipes extending therefrom whose ends are connected together by elongated connection members in the form of thin plates or bars. Thereafter, the intermediate product is fired and the ends of the branch pipes are then cut off together with the connection members. In this manner, even ceramic pipes complicated in shape readily can be produced by preventing strains and deformations which would otherwise occur during firing of the intermediate product.
