Abstract
Abstract Very porous conductive ceramic substances constituted of diborides and a certain percentage of disilicides of metals in groups IVa, Va, VIa of the periodical classification of elements. Preparing of ceramic substances by sintering of fine powders and of grains of a mixture of diborides and disilicides of metals in groups IVa, Va, VIa in the periodic classification of elements in presence of a fluoride.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A porous electrically conductive molded ceramic product comprising more than 20% but no more than 80% by weight of grains Of a few millimeters in diameter comprising a diboride of one of, and of 0-25% of a disilicide of one of, the group of metals consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, and tungsten, uniformly dispersed within less than 80% but no less than 20% by weight of a homogeneous sintered powder, said powder particles having a diameter of a few microns and comprising a mixture of a diboride of one of, and a disilicide of one of, the group of metals consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium and tungsten, said porous electrically conductive ceramic having a porosity greater than 30%.
