SLIP-CASTING SLURRY FOR MANUFACTURING SILICON CARBIDE BODIES

摘要

1. Slip casting composition for producing shaped bodies of silicon carbide with the use of silicon carbide, graphite, binders, floating agents and liquefying agents in a liquid medium, wherein the slip consists of silicon carbide powders of different grain fractions amounting to 48 to 65 mol- %, a graphite, resp. carbon portion amounting to 6 to 9.5 wt.- % and water in an amount of from 28 to 40 wt.- %, the liquefying agent being a melamin-formaldehyde-resin added in an amount of 0.15 to 0.35 wt.- % the binder being a polysaccharide added in an amount of 0.01 to 0.40 wt.- % together with 1.0 to 1.75 wt.- % of boric acid and the floating agent being ammonium alginate added in an amount of 0.10 to 0.25 wt.- % and the pH-value having been adjusted by the addition of 0.06 to 0.12 wt.- % of sodium hydroxide solution.
