Abstract: Brake disk rings which have perforation holes perpendicular to the plane of the friction surfaces, characterized in that the perforation holes each have a distance from their nearest neighbors which is always at most 30 mm and on average is at least twice the average hole diameter.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the production of a porous ?-SiC-bearing ceramic molded body that includes an aluminum oxide layer at the surface of the pores and passages of the porous ?-SiC-bearing ceramic molded body. The invention further concerns a porous ?-SiC-bearing ceramic molded body which has pores of a mean pore size in the range of between 0.1 urn and 50 ?m and an aluminum oxide layer at the surface of the open pores and passages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a molded porous ceramic article containing ?-SiC, which process comprises the following steps: the preparation of a molded article containing silicon and carbon and the subsequent pyrolysis and siliconization of the article containing silicon and carbon to form SiC. The invention further relates to a molded porous ceramic article containing SiC which has been produced from a molded article containing silicon and carbon.

Abstract: A sorption rotor has end faces and is rotatably journaled to travel during a revolution through an inflow sector and an outflow sector. The rotor is made of a matrix material having a honeycomb structure with axially throughgoing flow passages. The matrix material is constituted of cellulose paper modified by a ceramic material infiltrated by a sol-gel system or a gel-forming low-viscosity liquid into the matrix.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sorption rotor (3), which is rotationally mounted, whose face (6, 7) is provided with an inflow sector (6) and an out-flow sector (7), and which passes through said sectors when rotating. The sorption rotor also comprises a material matrix (12) that forms a honeycomb structure with flow channels (15) axially passing through the sorption rotor (3). The aim of the invention is to give the sorption rotor (3) a good thermal stability and strength, a good thermoshock resistance and a high degree of dimensional stability, whereby, at the same time, the sorption rotor should be able to be produced with a comparatively low economical expense. To this end, the invention provides that the material matrix (12) of the sorption rotor (3) is made from cellulose paper and is modified using ceramic materials.
