Abstract
Abstract Ceramic sintered body, in particular abrasive grain, based on α-Al 2 O 3 , said body being arranged in such a manner that improved abrasive results are achieved, said body being bound into a structure by means of a glass-like ceramic binder and showing a drop in hardness from its center to its edge of less than 1800 N/mm 2 , preferably less than 1000 N/mm 2 , and, in particular, less than 500 N/mm 2 .

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
Method for producing a ceramic body based on α-Al 2 O 3 by a sintering process, wherein the ceramic body is presintered then deaerated in a vacuum and said body is subsequently treated with an aqueous suspension said suspension having solid matter with a grain size of less than 0.5 μm, whereinafter the suspension is taken away and the bodies thus treated are dried and sintered again.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
Method for producing a ceramic body based on α-Al 2 O 3 by a sintering process, wherein the ceramic body is presintered then deaerated in a vacuum and said body is subsequently treated with an aqueous suspension said suspension having solid matter with a grain size of less than 0.5 μm, whereinafter the suspension is taken away and the bodies thus treated are dried and sintered again.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
65 words
Method for producing a ceramic body based on α-Al 2 O 3 by a sintering process, wherein the presintered ceramic body is deaerated in a vacuum and said body is subsequently treated with an aqueous suspension said suspension having solid matter with a grain size of less than 0.05 μm, whereinafter the suspension is taken away and the bodies thus treated are dried and sintered.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
Method for producing a ceramic body based on α-Al 2 O 3 by a sintering process, wherein the presintered ceramic body is deaerated in a vacuum and said body is subsequently treated with an aqueous suspension said suspension having solid matter with a grain size of less than 0.05 μm, whereinafter the suspension is taken away and the bodies thus treated are dried and sintered.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
Method for producing a ceramic body based on α-Al 2 O 3 by a sintering process, wherein the presintered ceramic bodies deaerated in a vacuum and said body is subsequently treated with an aqueous suspension said suspension having solid matter with a grain size of less than 0.02 μm, whereinafter the suspension is taken away and the bodies thus treated are dried and sintered.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
Method for producing a ceramic body based on α-Al 2 O 3 by a sintering process, wherein the presintered ceramic bodies deaerated in a vacuum and said body is subsequently treated with an aqueous suspension said suspension having solid matter with a grain size of less than 0.02 μm, whereinafter the suspension is taken away and the bodies thus treated are dried and sintered.

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
Method of claim 2 wherein the solid matter of the suspension consists of an Al-containing compound selected from the group consisting of highly disperse α-Al-oxide monohydrate, Al 2 O 3 and Al-hydroxide.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
Method of claim 3 wherein the solid matter of the suspension consists of an Al-containing compound selected from the group consisting of highly disperse α-Al-oxide monohydrate, Al 2 O 3 and Al-hydroxide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
Method of claim 1 wherein the solid matter of the suspension is 5-30 weight percent (calculated as Al 2 O 3 ).

Claim 14
Dependent Claim
24 words
Method of claim 1 wherein there is a weight increase, due to the treatment with solid matter suspension, amounts to 0.5 to 10 percent.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
24 words
Method of claim 1 wherein there is a weight increase, due to the treatment with solid matter suspension, amounts to 1 to 6 percent.
