Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing a contact body is disclosed wherein layers of asbestos are formed and arranged so that the individual layers bear against one another at mutually spaced positions to provide a plurality of channels extending through the body from one end to the other with the layers being heated together with at least one substance containing silicon and aluminum to sintering temperature. The addition of silicon and alumina to the contact body is adjusted so that in the sintered layers the ratio, by weight, of the oxide of silicon to the oxides of aluminum and magnesium is in the range of 45-55% SiO 2 , 30-45% Al 2 O 3 and 10-20% MgO.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A method of manufacturing a contact body comprising the steps of, forming layers of asbestos fibers arranged so that the layers bear against one another at mutually spaced positions to provide a plurality of channels in the body extending from end to end, adding to said asbestos fibers, either before or after said forming step, a predetermined quantity of a silicon compound and an aluminum compound thereafter heating the body together with said silicon and aluminum compounds to sintering temperature; said adding step including the step of adjusting the addition of the silicon and aluminum compounds so that in the sintered layers the ratio by weight of the oxide of silicon to the oxides of aluminum and magnesium is in the range of 45-55% SiO 2 , 30-45% Al 2 O 3 and 10-20% MgO.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
135 words
A method of manufacturing a contact body comprising the steps of, forming layers of asbestos fibers arranged so that the layers bear against one another at mutually spaced positions to provide a plurality of channels in the body extending from end to end, adding to said asbestos fibers, either before or after said forming step, a predetermined quantity of a silicon compound and an aluminum compound thereafter heating the body together with said silicon and aluminum compounds to sintering temperature; said adding step including the step of adjusting the addition of the silicon and aluminum compounds so that in the sintered layers the ratio by weight of the oxide of silicon to the oxides of aluminum and magnesium is in the range of 45-55% SiO 2 , 30-45% Al 2 O 3 and 10-20% MgO.
