A silicon nitride sintered body composed of .alpha.'-silicon nitride and .beta.'-silicon nitride, which are present in the ratio of 0.05-0.50 to 0.50-0.95 in terms of the peak strength ratio of X-ray diffraction, and have very small crystal grain size and specific compositions. The sintered body has high strength and high toughness and is superior in oxidation resistance.
摘要:
A sintered body composed of .alpha.'-silicon nitride and .beta.'-silicon nitride, and having a surface portion which contains a greater proportion of .alpha.'-silicon nitride than its inner portion does. It has high strength and excellent wear resistance. It is produced by preparing a molded body from a sintering material, disposing about the molded body a sintering material which can form a sintered product containing a greater proportion of .alpha.'-silicon nitride than the sintered product of the molded body will, and sintering the molded body and the material disposed about it.

摘要:
A silicon nitride sintered body includes silicon nitride as a principal component, silicon carbide dispersed therein and at least one of boron and boron compounds in an amount of from 0.005 to 0.5% by weight in terms of the weight of boron with respect to the total weight of the sintered body. The addition of boron or boron compounds improves the high-temperature characteristics such as creep resistance of the sintered body.

A composite material comprises silicon carbide and a boride of at least one element of Groups IVa to VIa of the Periodic Table, at least a portion of the boride being in the form of fiber having an aspect ratio of 3 or above. The composite material has high toughness owing to the fibrous boride.The composite material is produced by molding a raw material mixture composed of silicon carbide, a substance containing at least one element of Groups IVa to VIa of the Periodic Table, at least a portion thereof being in the form of fiber having an aspect ratio of 3 or above, and a substance containing boron, and sintering the molded body.
摘要:
An apparatus for heating the fuel mixture of an internal combustion engine includes a cylindrical heating body, adapted to form a passageway between a fuel supply and an internal combustion engine, having a double walled structure formed by spaced inner and outer metallic cylinders. A plurality of plate-like ceramic heating elements having a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) of electrical resistance are inserted between the inner and outer cylinders and are urged into contact with the inner cylinder by a resilient spring member. The cylindrical heating body is sealed by welding, brazing, caulking or packing to form a gas-tight chamber enclosing the ceramic heating elements and isolating them from degradation by the fuel mixture. The cylindrical body is provided with an air hole communicating the chamber with an ambient air vent passage formed in an insulator member attached to the body thereby connecting the interior of the chamber and the ceramic heating elements therein to an external air supply.

A honeycomb structural body consisting of barium titanate series ceramics having a positive temperature coefficient of electric resistance can be obtained by forming a green mass consisting of a mixture of raw material powders containing at least 50% by weight of powders having perovskite type crystal structure and having a specifically limited particle size distribution, water and at least two kinds of organic binders, and drying and firing the formed article. The honeycomb structural body is suitable to be used as a heating element.

An oxygen partial pressure measuring device for determining oxygen partial pressures in exhaust gases emitted from internal combustion engines comprises a metallic vessel mounted within an exhaust pipe of the engine and having an exhaust gas inlet facing to the exhaust gas flow and an exhaust gas outlet formed in a side surface of the vessel, an oxygen concentration cell shutting the exhaust gas out of the air in an air-tight manner, and a monolithic structure, what is called a honeycomb structure, located between the exhaust gas inlet and the oxygen concentration cell within the vessel for burning the exhaust gas.
摘要:
Barium titanate series semiconductive ceramics having a positive temperature coefficient of electric resistance are disclosed. The ceramics consist mainly of a barium titanate series compound and contain specifically limited small amounts of titanium dioxide, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, at least one element selected from the group consisting of rare earth elements, yttrium, bismuth, antimony, niobium, tantalum and tungsten, at least one element selected from the group consisting of manganese, copper, iron and chromium, and zinc oxide. The ceramics are low in the variance of electric resistance values and have a low water absorption and hence are low in the change of electric properties due to the lapse of time.

An oxygen concentration cell capable of operating at a lower temperature and having a higher response speed is disclosed. The cell consists of an oxygen ion conductive solid electrolyte provided on both of its surfaces with electrodes consisting of a porous electrically conductive layer, which is formed of a platinum group metal and contains in its pores a metal oxide formed by the thermal decomposition of an oxide-forming metal compound.
