Abstract:
A method for producing a magnesia partially-stabilized zirconia ceramics is provided. The method preferably consists of combining zirconium dioxide having a silica content of up to 0.5 weight percent with a magnesium-containing component. This mixture is then compacted, heated, and cooled at a controlled rate, without aging, to form said zirconia ceramics.
Abstract:
A removable, non-penetrating golf shoe cleat (10) which includes a circular flange (13), a plurality of truncated pyramid-shaped protuberances (21) spaced apart from one another and disposed near the periphery, a plurality of V-shaped grooves (60) disposed about the periphery on a lower surface of the flange and a threaded stud (40) or screw extending from the center of the flange (13) for removably attaching the cleat (10) to the shoe.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an aluminum borate ceramic having a high porosity and a tightly controlled pore size distribution, while maintaining good mechanical strength. The ceramic body can be formed by decomposing boric acid-stabilized aluminum acetate to form an aluminum borate powder, and sintering the powder to form a ceramic body.
Abstract:
A ceramic substrate (10) having vias (16) filled with a conductive material (18) which forms a hermetic seal for the vias. The conductive material (18) in the vias is the sintered product of a powder mixture comprising a metal, preferably tungsten, and a ceramic powder, preferably alumina. The conductive material (18) in the via has a resistance less than about 0.5 ohms. The conductive material (18) forms a seal sufficient to provide a leakage rate of less than 1.0 x 10 STD cc per second of helium at a one atmosphere differential.
