International Classification:

H01L021/30
H05B006/64

US Classification:

438455, 219678

Abstract:

Assignee:

Corning Glass Works - Corning NY

International Classification:

B32B 516
B32B 900

US Classification:

428403

Abstract:

Oxide-coated whiskers suitable for consolidation into or incorporation within a whisker-reinforced composite ceramic article are provided by dispersing inorganic whiskers in a colloidal oxide sol, separating the dispersion into fine droplets, and drying the droplets to provide a solid particulate product comprising the coated whiskers. The continuous oxide coating on the whiskers provides protection and aids in composite consolidation.

International Classification:

C03B 1800

US Classification:

65 992

Abstract:

A float glass process for production of high melting temperature glasses utilizes a binary metal alloy bath having the combined properties of a low melting point, low reactivity with oxygen, low vapor pressure, and minimal reactivity with the silicate glasses being formed. The metal alloy of the float medium is exothermic with a solvent metal that does not readily form an oxide. The vapor pressure of both components in the alloy is low enough to prevent deleterious vapor deposition, and there is minimal chemical and interdiffusive interaction of either component with silicate glasses under the float processing conditions. Alloys having the desired combination of properties include compositions in which gold, silver or copper is the solvent metal and silicon, germanium or tin is the solute, preferably in eutectic or near-eutectic compositions.
