Abstract
Abstract Process for the production of a ceramic member having inclusions of electrically conductive material flush with its surface, wherein it comprises depositing on the bottom of a mould a small number of particles of said conductive material, placing above said particles the ceramic powder and compressing together the aggregate formed by the powder and the particles, followed by fritting at a temperature below the melting temperature of the conductive material. Cathode--solid electrolyte assembly obtained by using the above process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A process for the production of a cathode-solid electrolyte assembly consisting of a ceramic member having only on its surface inclusions of electrically conductive nickel joined together so as to form on said surface an electrically conductive network, which comprises: depositing on the bottom of a mold a first layer of particles of said conductive nickel, said particles having a size between 3 and 30μ, providing a surface density of said particles in the first layer of about 10 mg/cm 2 whereby they form after fritting an electrically conductive cathodic network, placing above said layer of particles a second layer of the ceramic powder, compressing together the two layers, and fritting said compressed layers at a temperature below the melting temperature of the conductive nickel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
