Abstract:
A high alumina sintered body composed of a substrate consisting substantially of .alpha.-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and a surface layer of mullite precipitated in situ on the substrate. The sintered body is obtained by molding and sintering a composition comprising a main component containing at least 75% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of .alpha.-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and a predetermined amount of silica, a mullite mineralyzing agent and B.sub.2 O.sub.3. The sintered body has a combination of excellent thermal shock resistance and mechanical properties such as flexural strength.

Abstract:
A silicon carbide fiber reinforced barium modified magnesium aluminosilicate matrix composite is described having high strength and thermal stability at temperature in excess of 1200.degree. C. The matrix material contains about 5% to about 14% magnesium oxide and about 5% to about 25% barium oxide. While any suitable ratios of fiber to matrix can be used, the composite for most applications for example, in the heat engine area, will contain approximately 20% to 50% by volume silicon carbide fibers.

C. between 120-160.times.10.sup.-7 /.degree. C. Base glass articles having compositions consisting essentially, in weight percent, of 5.5-15% Li.sub.2 O, 2-25% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, the weight ratio Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 :Li.sub.2 O being less than 1.7:1, 60-85% SiO.sub.2, and at least one photosensitive metal in the indicated proportion selected from the group of 0.001-0.03% gold, computed as Au, 0.001-0.3% silver, computed as AgCl, and 0.001-1% copper, computed as Cu.sub.2 O, are first exposed to ultraviolet radiations to develop a latent image therein, then heated to a temperature between the annealing and softening points thereof to generate metallic nuclei therein and the growth of lithium metasilicate particles thereon, and, finally, heated to a temperature in excess of 700.degree. C., but less than 800.degree. C., to effect an essentially crystalline article, including the conversion of a portion of the lithium metasilicate crystals to lithium disilicate. Quartz and/or cristobalite will also be formed.
Abstract:
A process for producing feldspathic sanitary ware and the end product are disclosed in which a fluxing amount of a glass frit is used in the ceramic slip used to cast the sanitary ware. The frit contains both deflocculent oxides and flocculent alkaline earths which are leachable from the frit when it is placed in the ceramic slip. The deflocculent oxides counterbalance the effect of the flocculent alkaline earths to the extent they are respectively leached from the frit upon dispersal in a ceramic slip and maintain the slip at a workable viscosity. Upon casting and firing the slip, the present frit precipitates fine crystals of diopside having an average particle size of less than one micron which are particularly useful in lowering the firing temperature of feldspathic bodies by promoting the required degree of vitrification at lower temperatures than heretofore possible.
