  • Reinforceable sintered glass-ceramics
    Patent number: 4892846
    Abstract: A fibre-reinforced ceramic material is made by making a melt of glass of specified composition, cooling the melt rapidly enough for it to solidify as a glass, crushing the glass to a particle size not exceeding 70 .mu.m but preferably not exceeding 50 .mu.m mixing the powder with reinforcing fibres and heat-treating the mixture, preferably under pressure. The glass composition is: 100 parts by weight of base glass (0-30 CaO, 0-30 MgO, 5-35 Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and 35-75 SiO.sub.2) plus 1/2-3 parts Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 plus 1/2-10 parts of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 or the equivalent.This ensures the ceramic contains both surface-nucleated and internally-nucleated crystals, enhancing its properties.
