  • Patent number: 6617017
    Abstract: This invention provides a firing jig for an electronic element comprising a spray coating layer made of a material less reactive to a material to be fired on a substrate made of a ceramic, wherein two or more spray coating layers are formed on the surface of the substrate, and at least a spray coating layer adjacent to the substrate and a spray coating layer adjacent to the material to be fired are made of different materials. When it is a firing jig for an electronic element comprising a ceramic substrate, a surface adjacent to the substrate is a spray coating layer and the surface of the spray coating layer is a flame coating layer. The firing jig for an electronic element has a longer life and can be produced with a lower cost.

  • Patent number: 6156687
    Abstract: There is provided a jig for use in firing of ferrite-made member (e.g. deflection yoke). The jig contains MgO.Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 spinnel as the main component. In the jig, the molar ratio of total MgO and total Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 is 25:75 to 75:25; and RO, which is at least one kind of oxide selected from the group consisting of ZnO, CuO, MnO, NiO, CaO, SrO, BaO, PbO and CdO, is contained in an amount of 0 to 25 mole % per 100 mole % of the sum of total MgO and total Al.sub.2 O.sub.3. This jig is unreactive to a material (e.g. deflection yoke) to be fired and consequently gives rise to no dimensional change of the material to be fired.

  • Patent number: 5618762
    Abstract: An antibacterial ceramic contains an antibacterial material produced by loading an antibacterial metal such as silver on a calcium ceramic carrier and an inorganic material such as cordierite, and has a bulk density of 0.6-1.2 g/cm.sup.3. An antibacterial ceramic filter contains an antibacterial material produced by loading an antibacterial metal such as silver on a calcium ceramic carrier, an aggregate such as mullite, and a binder such as frit, and has a porosity of 20% or more. The light-weight antibacterial ceramic is suitably applicable to a roof garden or the like. The antibacterial ceramic filter can remove and extirpate various bacteria and suspensions.
