摘要:
A method for producing a ceramic is disclosed. The method involves comminuting a batch composed of from 6 to 95 percent of particulate ZrO.sub.2 and from 5 to 94 percent of particulate Al.sub.2 O.sub.3. A part of the particulate ZrO.sub.2 is in a metastable tetragonal crystal structure, for example, as a consequence of 3.sup.m/o of Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 dissolved therein and a part has a monoclinic crystal structure. The comminuted batch is compacted into a shape, and the shape is fired. The degree of comminution of the batch, the firing conditions and the proportions of stabilized and monoclinic ZrO.sub.2 in the batch are controlled to produce a dense, gas impervious ceramic which contains both metastable tatragonal and monoclinic ZrO.sub.2, and in such proportions that the ceramic has improved strength by comparison with an otherwise identical ceramic wherein all of the ZrO.sub.2 is in either a metastable tetragonal or a monoclinic crystal structure.Also disclosed is a method where the particulate alumina can be an alumina-chromia solid solution containing up to 50.sup.m/o of chromia.In another embodiment, a ceramic article is disclosed. The article is composed of from 6 to 95 percent of particulate ZrO.sub.2, from 5 to 94 percent of particulate Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, from 1/4 to 33/4 percent of MnO.sub.2 and from 1/4 to 33/4 percent of TiO.sub.2 .

摘要:
A phase monitor and protection circuit is shown in which an impedance network (21, 23, 25) in a respective branch (20, 22, 24) connected to a neutral (26) is coupled to each phase of a three phase power supply (L1, L2, L3) to create a known voltage profile across the respective networks. A relay network (36) is coupled to one branch (20) and a control network (30) is coupled to a second branch (24) to monitor the voltage levels and deenergize the relay (R1) upon the occurrence of the reversal of any two phases or the loss of a phase. The control circuit can also be used to detect low voltage conditions and in a second embodiment provides a time delay network (44) to avoid nuisance tripping due to transient low voltage or brown out condition.
摘要:
A method for producing a dense and impervious stabilized hafnium oxide ceramic having zero percent water absorption is disclosed. The hafnium oxide is stabilized in the sense that a solid solution with Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 is formed. The solid solution has a cubic crystal structure which, because of its similarity to the structure of the mineral fluorite, is sometimes called a "fluorite phase"; unlike hafnium oxide alone, which undergoes a destructive phase transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic during cooling, the cubic structure of the solid solution remains stable during cooling of a ceramic article. The ceramic is made by producing an intimate dry mixture consisting essentially, on an oxide basis, of hafnia, yttria and at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, calcia, magnesia, baria and strontia, yttria constituting substantially 8 to 12 mole percent of said article based upon the total number of moles of hafnia and yttria, and silica, alumina, calcia, magnesia, baria and strontia constituting from 1/4 percent to 4 percent, based upon the weight of hafnia and yttria, with the proviso that calcia, magnesia, baria and strontia constitute not more than 70 percent by weight of the total of silica, alumina, calcia, magnesia, baria and strontia, pressing the dry mixture into a predetermined shape, and sintering the shape to a gas impervious condition at a temperature from 2700.degree. F. to 3000.degree. F. A stabilized, dense, hafnium oxide ceramic has the capability of conducting oxygen anions, a requisite of the solid electrolyte in an oxygen concentration cell. Such a cell can be used as an oxygen sensor in apparatus for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine to maintain substantially the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. When the air-fuel ratio is closely controlled, a three-way catalytic converter can be used to control emissions of hydrocarbons, CO and NO.sub.x within the limits presently specified for 1978.
摘要:
A electronic motor protection system is shown having a power supply (12) usable with multivoltage supplies and providing protection from over-temperature conditions caused by various fault conditions. The system also has optional features of a time delay (20) for re-energization and for low voltage protection (22). The system is mounted on a circuit board and encased in potting material which also locks two housing parts together (30, 34). A miswiring feature is also provided to prevent connecting line voltage to the control circuit or sensor terminals.
摘要:
A ceramic consisting essentially of from 1 to 15 percent of glass and 99 to 85 percent of a mixture of particulate Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and particulate ZrO.sub.2 is disclosed. ZrO.sub.2 is present in a sufficient amount, usually from 1/4 to 6 percent based on the weight of the ZrO.sub.2 and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, to strengthen the ceramic significantly, by comparison with an otherwise identical ceramic where the particulate ZrO.sub.2 is replaced either by the glass or by particulate Al.sub.2 O.sub.3. The glass constitutes a vitreous phase bonding the particulates into a dense, gas impervious structure, and can be a calcium magnesium silicate glass containing from 45 to 80 percent of SiO.sub.2, from 8 to 55 percent of CaO and MgO, and not more than 15 percent of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.

The ceramics are subject to microcracking, which can be cured by refiring, or prevented by including particulate Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 as a stabilizer.
