Cellular ceramic insulating body and method for making same.

摘要

A cellular ceramic insulating body (10) is disclosed that includes a plurality of rigid cellular ceramic segments (14) adhesively secured to one another by a bonding agent (16). The cellular ceramic segments are arranged to be positioned adjacent to the surface of a member to be insulated. The bonding agent forms a flexible bond that substantially prevents thermal stress failure in the cellular ceramic insulating body at temperatures up to at least 650 DEG F (343 DEG C). The cellular ceramic insulating body is operable to resist thermally induced cracking in the cellular ceramic segments at temperatures up to at least 650 DEG F (343 DEG C).
