Latest Patents
One of Garvie's latest patents focuses on composite refractory materials. This invention describes a relatively dense composite refractory material that possesses reasonable strength and good thermal shock resistance. The material comprises an alumina matrix within which particles of polycrystalline zirconia are dispersed, making up 1.0 to 40 percent by volume of the composite. Each zirconia particle is an agglomerate of microcrystals that are strongly bonded together, exhibiting strong thermal expansion anisotropy. The microcrystals are designed to prevent spontaneous crack formation during cooling from approximately 1600°C to room temperature. Typically, the agglomerates have a mean diameter of 10 to 15 micrometers, while the average diameter of the microcrystals within an agglomerate ranges from 1 to 2 micrometers. Another significant patent involves zirconia ceramic materials and methods for their production.
