  • Patent number: 8361295
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing metallic moulded bodies comprising a ceramic layer according to the membrane method, whereby a porous metallic membrane is used. The aim of the invention is to provide a cost-effective, rapid method which is as non-polluting as possible for producing metallic moulded bodies comprising a ceramic layer according to the membrane method using a porous metallic membrane, whereby the penetration depth, the green density and the deposition speed of the ceramic particles in the metallic membrane can be controlled. To this end, the porous metallic membrane is sealed by electrophoretic deposition of ceramic particles in the pores of the metallic membrane, the metallic membrane being arranged between two electrodes for the electrophoretic deposition, and the space between an electrode and the metallic membrane being filled with a dispersion containing the ceramic particles to be deposited in the pores and a dispersant.

  • Publication number: 20100035081
    Abstract: Selective solar absorbers are prepared by coating a reflector with a thin cermet layer prepared by depositing and subsequently sintering at least one cermet layer precursor which is an aqueous or alcoholic dispersion of ceramic nanoparticles, the dispersion also containing dissolved metal ions corresponding to the desired metal in the cermet. Sintering in H2 or an inert atmosphere reduces the metal ions to elemental metal particles.

  • Publication number: 20090095629
    Abstract: One object on which the present invention is based is to specify an apparatus (101, 201, 301, 401, 501) for production of a mold (117), in particular of a dental mold (117), by means of electrophoretic deposition of particles (115) from a suspension (113, 213), in which case a predetermined spatial shape can be produced deliberately in order in this way to produce the mold (117) as close as possible to its final dimensions and final contour. A further aim is to produce the mold (117) at low cost, with efficient use of resources, quickly and in as simple a manner as possible, with good reproducibility of the method being desirable in order to achieve a low scrap rate.

  • Publication number: 20070142201
    Abstract: A multi-component glass which, in addition to the components TiO2 and SiO2, comprises a further component from the group consisting of glass-forming agents and/or intermediate oxides is prepared by preparing mixtures of the starting components and reacting these to give the desired compositions, or treating a green body with a suspension of the additional components and reacting it to give the desired composition. The multi-component glass can be used for the production of shaped bodies with dimensions close to the final dimensions.
