  • Publication number: 20090133713
    Abstract: It has been difficult to provide a large-sized ceramic member quickly and economically. A multilayer structure is produced by forming a ceramic film on a base which is made of a material that can be shaped comparatively easily. The ceramic film is formed by a plasma spraying method, CVD method, PVD method, sol-gel method or the like. Alternatively, the ceramic film may be formed by a method combined with a spray deposit film.

  • Patent number: 6863740
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cleaning method of a ceramic member, which permits removing with a high accuracy the contaminants from a ceramic member contaminated with the contaminant. The cleaning method comprises the steps of processing the contaminated ceramic member with an alkaline chemical liquid having a pH value not smaller than 10 in the presence of an ultrasonic wave, processing the ceramic member processed with the alkaline chemical liquid with a prescribed acidic chemical liquid in the presence of an ultrasonic wave, and heating the ceramic member processed with the acidic chemical liquid under temperatures not lower than 1,000° C.

  • Publication number: 20030071037
    Abstract: A microwave sintering furnace and a microwave sintering method are disclosed, in which the object to be sintered develops no cracking or deformation in the degreasing process. A microwave sintering furnace (1) comprises a furnace body (2) containing an object (S) to be sintered, a unit (3, 4) for generating and introducing microwaves into the furnace body, a unit (8) for supplying a degreasing gas into the furnace body (2), and a unit (11) for heating the degreasing gas before it reaches the object (S) to be sintered.
