Abstract
Abstract A sinterable powdery material of minute composite ceramic particles having a dual structure, comprising the core formed of zirconium oxide and the outer shell formed of aluminum oxide, a process for producing thereof, which comprises introducing gaseous zirconium chloride into a combustion chamber provided with a constricting section at the center part thereof and a burner at the upper part thereof, introducing gaseous aluminum chloride into the combustion chamber at the constricting section or the lower part thereof, and thermally decomposing both the thus introduced zirconium chloride and aluminum chloride by a flame from said burner under an oxidative atmosphere, and an apparatus for producing thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A process for producing a sinterable powdery material of minute composite ceramic particles, having a mean diameter of 400 to 1000 Å and a dual structure comprising a core formed of zirconium oxide and the outer shell formed of aluminum oxide, said process comprising the steps of: introducing gaseous zirconium tetrachloride into a combustion chamber provided with a constricting section at the center part thereof and a burner at the upper part thereof, the temperature of the upper part of said combustion chamber being 1200° to 1900° C. introducing gaseous aluminum chloride into said combustion chamber at the constricting section or the lower part thereof, the temperature of the constricting section and the lower part of said combustion chamber being 800° to 1200° C., thermally decomposing both the thus introduced zirconium chloride and aluminum chloride by a flame under an oxidative atmosphere.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A process for producing a sinterable powdery material of minute composite ceramic particles, having a mean diameter of 400 to 1000 Å and a dual structure comprising a core formed of zirconium oxide and the outer shell formed of aluminum oxide, said process comprising the steps of: introducing gaseous zirconium tetrachloride into a combustion chamber provided with a constricting section at the center part thereof and a burner at the upper part thereof, the temperature of the upper part of said combustion chamber being 1200° to 1900° C. introducing gaseous aluminum chloride into said combustion chamber at the constricting section or the lower part thereof, the temperature of the constricting section and the lower part of said combustion chamber being 800° to 1200° C., thermally decomposing both the thus introduced zirconium chloride and aluminum chloride by a flame under an oxidative atmosphere.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
120 words
An apparatus for producing a sinterable powdery material of minute composite ceramic particles produced by the process according to claim 1, which comprises a heat resistant combustion chamber as a reaction chamber provided with an outside lining made of a refractory material, a constricting section at the center part thereof, a burner at the part over said constricting section, an inlet at the part over said constricting section for introducing gaseous zirconium chloride forming the core of said sinterable powdery material of minute composite ceramic particles and an inlet at said constricting section or the section under said constricting section for introducing a gaseous aluminum chloride forming the outer shell of said sinterable powdery material of minute composite ceramic particles.
