  • HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURE CERAMIC ELECTROLYTE ELECTROCHEMICAL CONVERSION DEVICES
    Publication number: 20060115690
    Abstract: A high operating temperature sealed assembly positioned between high thermal expansion solid components. The assembly has a seal-forming material with a glass matrix phase and a crystalline phase. The glass matrix composition consists essentially by mol percent of about 56<SiO2<75; 11<BaO<30; and 2<MgO<14.

  • METHOD OF MAKING GLASS COMPOSITIONS FOR CERAMIC ELECTROLYTE ELECTROCHEMICAL CONVERSION ASSEMBLIES AND ASSEMBLIES MADE THEREBY
    Publication number: 20050137074
    Abstract: A method of making a glass composition consisting essentially by mol percent of about 55<SiO2<75; 5<BaO<30; and 2<MgO<22 for use as a matrix of composite materials. A method of making a glass matrix-ceramic particulate composition useful for sealing electrochemical structures, such as solid oxide fuel cells is also disclosed. Method steps include the admixture of finely divided Mg2SiO4 particulates with the matrix glass, to reach an overall composition by mol percent of about 55<SiO2<65; 5<BaO<15; and 25<MgO<35.

  • Method of preparing thin-walled articles
    Publication number: 20050065259
    Abstract: A polymeric binder system and method of making, and a method for extruding thin-walled articles such as thin-walled tubes is provided. The extrusion method comprises providing a polymeric binder system comprising a substantially homogeneous solution of a polymeric binder and an organic solvent, adding a ceramic or metal powder to form a mixture, and evaporating the solvent from the mixture. The remaining mixture is then extruded from a die and heated to burn-off the binder and sinter the article.
