Abstract: A method is disclosed for improving the production of electrical switch contacts, in particular for vacuum tubes. In the method, an electrical or electromagnetic field assists and/or effects a sintering process.

Abstract: Various embodiments may include a coating for a component which is exposed to hot gases, for example a boiler, a fuel cell, a melting furnace, an engine, a power unit, a gas turbine vane and/or a gas turbine blade. For example, a coating may include: a ceramic material including particles in a ceramic matrix, the particles comprising luminescing europium and/or samarium 2+ ions. The luminescing ions transform into a species comprising europium and/or samarium 3+ ions. The particles and the species luminesce differently in a kinetically single-stage reaction, resulting in a direct relationship between the luminescence and the temperature history of a component equipped with the coating.

Abstract: A luminescent powder (1) with luminescent particles (2) having an average luminescent-particle size (3) selected from the range of from 0.1 ?m inclusive to 5.0 ?m inclusive. The luminescent particles comprise primary particles (4) having an average primary-particle size (5) selected from the range of from 0.1 ?m inclusive to 1.0 ?m inclusive. The primary particles which, for example, consist of a cerium-doped yttrium-aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12), are agglomerated to form the luminescent particles. A method for producing the luminescent powder has the following steps: a) preparing at least one precursor of the primary particles, b) producing the primary particles from the precursor of the primary particles, and c) forming the luminescent particles of the luminescent powder from the primary particles. The precursor for Y3Al5O12 is, for example, a powder mixture of hydroxides.
