Abstract

Abstract A composite beta, mainly beta"-alumina article is described which comprises a first layer of beta-alumina, a second layer of mainly beta"-alumina adhering securely to the first layer, and the first layer consisting of 1 to 15 percent thickness of the total thickness of the article. A method is also described for producing such composite articles.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 46 words
A sintered ion-conductive composite electrolyte comprising a first layer of beta-alumina, a second layer of mainly beta"-alumina integrally adhered to the first layer and at least substantially coextensive therewith, and the first layer consisting of 1 to 15 percent of the total thickness of the electrolyte.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 46 words
A sintered ion-conductive composite electrolyte comprising a first layer of beta-alumina, a second layer of mainly beta"-alumina integrally adhered to the first layer and at least substantially coextensive therewith, and the first layer consisting of 1 to 15 percent of the total thickness of the electrolyte.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 49 words
A composite electrolyte as in claim 1, in which the electrolyte is a tube with an open end and a closed end, the first layer of beta-alumina layer is the inner layer of the tube, and the second layer of mainly beta"-alumina is the outer layer of the tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 48 words
A composite electrolyte as in claim 1, in which the electrolyte is a tube with an open end and a closed end, the first layer of beta-alumina is the outer layer of the tube, and the second layer of mainly beta"-alumina is the inner layer of the tube.
