摘要 |
This invention provides a hard, strong ceramic body and method of manufacture whereby the body, after being formed into the desired shape and size can then be fired into a monolithic structure without any shrinkage or distortion during the firing operation. The "green," unfired ceramic composition comprises one or more powdered refractories and one or more powdered glasses which have a melting point below the softening point of the selected refractory material. Preferred refractories are alumina and zirconia; preferred glasses are lead borosilicate and barium borosilicate. The composition may also contain a metal powder.
