Abstract
Abstract A ceramic having improved thermal shock resistance is produced by a method comprising firing a mixture comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a sulfate, nitrate, carbonate, oxide, hydroxide, acetate and oxalate of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, titanium oxide, rehydratable alumina, optionally silica and optionally a rare earth element compound at a temperature in the range of 1,000 DEG C. to 1,300 DEG C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A method for producing a ceramic which comprises firing a mixture comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the sulfate, nitrate, carbonate, oxide, hydroxide, acetate and oxalate of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, titanium oxide and rehydratable alumina, wherein the mixing ratio of the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound and titanium oxide is such that 0.1 to 4 gram atoms of titanium as titanium oxide are present per gram atom of the alkali or alkaline earth metal in the metal compound, and the weight ratio of titanium oxide to the rehydratable alumina is from 1:1 to 1:10, at a temperature in the range of 1,000° C. to 1,300° C. for a time sufficient to produce said ceramic.
