Abstract

1,104,715. Alpha Al 2 O 3 single crystal ribbons; aluminous ceramic. THERMOKINETIC FIBERS Inc. 9 June, 1965 [10 June, 1964], No. 24412/65. Headings C1A and C1J. Alpha Al 2 O 3 single crystal ribbons are made by passing hydrogen and water vapour over a melt of aluminium and periodically increasing the water content of the hydrogen over the melt during the period of growth, e.g. from 300 p.p.m. to 3000 p.p.m. The water content of the H 2 preferably reaches a maximum of 40,000 p.p.m. at the end of the run. The temperature of the melt may be periodically increased during the run within the range 2200-3500‹ F. The melt may be contacted with essentially dry hydrogen, e.g. less than 50 p.p.m. water, during a first pre-growth stage. The flow rate of the hydrogen is preferably rapid during the first pre-growth stage, and then substantially decreased during the growth stage. The aluminium melt may be contained in a receptacle comprising a fired intimate mixture of Al 2 O 3 and finely divided aluminium particles and optionally one or more additional oxides, namely SiO 2 , TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , Cr 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 and cobalt oxide. The free aluminium content of the receptacle may be from 1 to 20% by wt.; and the constituents fired in air at 2200-2500‹ F. Alpha alumina single crystal ribbons of rhombohedral cross-section having a width to thickness ratio of from 1 : 1 to 12 : 1, a length of 0À5 to 4 inches, a width of at least 0À5Á and a length:width ratio of from 10 : 1 to 25,000 : 1 are claimed per se.
