Abstract

See full text

A process for fabrication of refractory insulating materials wherein essentially pure silica shells are mixed with a polymeric graphite precursor dissolved in a solvent. The resulting slurry is placed in a forming mold, and the solvent is evaporated to form a polymeric matrix containing the shells as a dispersion. This matrix is pyrolized under an inert or reducing atmosphere to decompose the polymer and form a first product consisting essentially of a carbon matrix containing a dispersion of silica shells. To enhance refractory characteristics, such first product is fired at high temperature in an inert or reducing atmosphere to form a second product consisting of a carbon matrix containing a dispersion of SiC-lined voids, or in a nitrogen atmosphere to form a third product consisting of the carbon matrix containing a dispersion of Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 -lined voids.
