Abstract:
In a process for manufacturing fiber reinforced composites made or inorganic sinterable material and inorganic fibers the fibers are continuously passed through a bath which works acccording to the fluidized bed principle and which contains a solution of at least one metal alkoxide of the elements of the first to the fourth main groups of the periodic table and the forth and fifth subgroups of the periodic table, which solution already comprises products of hydrolysis and their condensation products, and the fibers moistened with the solution are wound one upon the other to form layers, the moistened and wound fibers are dried, the metal alkoxides on the fibers are completely hydrolyzed and the products of hydrolysis are polycondensated, and the layers of the fibers being adhered by the powder and the polycondensation products of the products of hydrolysis of the metal alkoxides are hot pressed.

Abstract:
A process for manufacturing open porous sintered bodies with large open pore volume and defined pore diameters and which at least predominantly consist of glass-ceramics. They are obtained by sintering a mixture of sinterable powder and an inorganic soluble salt with defined grade of grain, the melting point of which is above the densification temperature of the sinterable powder. For the formation of a molded body the mixture of sinterable powder and inorganic salt is submitted to a molding process. The molded body is sintered in a sintering process and the soluble salt being contained in the molded body is lixiviated. As a main constituent the sinterable powder contains a pulverized crystallizable glass powder. The sintering process is performed in such a way that the crystal phases being produced during the crystallization of the crystallizable glass, and therefore the material properties, too, are controlled by the guidance of the sintering process as well as by the ion exchange taking place between the sinterable powder and the inorganic salt and which is controlled by their composition. Afterwards, the sintered body is transformed to the final glass-ceramic texture.

Abstract:
A structural component for a device for the treatment of melts, especially of glass melts, having a base body of metal or of a metal alloy and a cooling system in which a cooling medium is led through the structural component for the leading-off of heat. The base body is provided with a coating of a material the decomposition temperature of which lies below the temperature of the melt, and the cooling system is designed and arranged in such manner that the temperature of the boundary layer of the melt that immediately surrounds the structural component lies below the decomposition temperature of the coating material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a skull pot for melting or refining glass or glass ceramics, comprising a pot wall (1), a pot base, and an induction coil (3) which surrounds said pot wall and through which high-frequency energy can be coupled into the contents of the pot. The pot wall is made up of a ring of metal pipes (1.1) which can be connected to a cooling medium, slot-type intermediate chambers being provided between adjacent metal pipes. The pot base has a run-off for the melt. The metal pipes (1.1) that form the pot wall (1) arm short-circuited with each other above the base in order to increase the degree of efficiency of the skull pot and especially, in order to even out the temperature profile of the melt throughout the depth of the melt.
