Method for preparing corrosion-resistant ceramic shapes

Patent · 07 December 1979

OSTI ID:5163925

Arons, R M; Dusek, J T

Ceramic shapes having impermeable tungsten coatings can be used for containing highly corrosive molten alloys and salts. The shapes are prepared by coating damp green ceramic shapes containing a small amount of yttria with a tungsten coating slip which has been adjusted to match the shrinkage rate of the green ceramic and which will fire to a theoretical density of at least 80% to provide an impermeable coating.
