Abstract:
Composite ceramic materials are disclosed herein which comprise two or more crystalline phases, wherein a first crystalline phase comprises a first refractory material having a first melting point, and a second crystalline phase comprises a second refractory material having a second melting point which is lower than the first melting point, and the second crystalline phase comprises large domain sizes of the second refractory material. Articles comprising such a composite ceramic material, such as honeycomb bodies, catalytic substrates, and particulate filters, are also disclosed herein, in addition to methods of manufacture thereof.
Abstract:
Disclosed are ceramic bodies comprised of composite cordierite-mullite-aluminum magnesium titanate (CMAT) ceramic compositions having high cordierite-to-mullite ratio and methods for the manufacture of same.
Abstract:
A method of making ceramic articles includes compounding ceramic precursor batch components that include hydrous clay. The hydrous clay includes particle components having a platy geometry. The crystallite size of the platy hydrous clay particle components is less than a predetermined amount. Controlling such crystallite size can result in fired ceramic articles with a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and improved thermal shock resistance.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a ceramic body comprising at least one phase comprising a pseudobrookite-type crystal structure and at least one phase comprising zirconium tin titanate. Also disclosed are porous ceramic honeycomb structures comprising a ceramic body comprising at least one phase comprising a pseudobrookite-type crystal structure and at least one phase comprising zirconium tin titanate and methods of preparing a ceramic body comprising at least one phase comprising a pseudobrookite-type crystal structure and at least one phase comprising zirconium tin titanate.
Abstract:
A doped silica-titania ("DST") glass article that includes a glass article having a glass composition comprising a silica-titania base glass containing titania at 7 to 14 wt.% and a balance of silica, and a dopant selected from the group consisting of (a) F at 0.7 to 1.5 wt.%, (b) B 2 O 3 at 1.5 to 5 wt.%, (c) OH at 1000 to 3000 ppm, and (d) B 2 O 3 at 0.5 to 2.5wt.% and OH at 100 to 1400 ppm. The glass article has an expansivity slope of less than about 1.3 ppb/K 2 at 20°C. For DST glass articles doped with F or B 2 O 3 , the OH level can be held to less than 10 ppm, or less than 100 ppm, respectively. In many aspects, the DST glass articles are substantially free of titania in crystalline form.

Abstract:
A method of making ceramic articles includes compounding ceramic precursor batch components that include hydrous clay. The hydrous clay includes particle components having a platy geometry. The crystallite size of the platy hydrous clay particle components is greater than a predetermined amount. Controlling such crystallite size can result in reduced shrinkage of green ware during the clay dehydroxylation stage of firing.
