Abstract
Slip-cast ceramic component having an internal chamfer which is optionally interrupted by an internally projecting area, obtainable by providing a slip cast blank of the ceramic component with uniform thickness and desired internal configuration wherein the volume corresponding to the internal chamfer is outwardly disposed and which is removed by external machining to arrive at the geometry of the ceramic component. The component is useful, inter alia, as a spacer ring which serves for the positioning of honeycomb-shaped catalyst blocks in exhaust gas lines.
Claims5
Process for the production of a slip-cast ceramic component with an internal chamfer which is optionally interrupted, which comprises slip-casting a ceramic blank having a uniform thickness, a desired internal configuration and an outwardly disposed volume having an external configuration, then cutting or machining the external configuration only to remove the outwardly disposed volume corresponding to the internal configuration thereby providing a smooth external surface.
