Claims
- 1. A process for producing a ceramic body having a metallized layer which comprises tape-casting a ceramic slurry to form a ceramic green sheet, screen printing and drying a plurality of metallizing paste layers comprising one or more of a high melting point metal or alloy unmelted at a firing temperature of the ceramic substrate and containing, based on 100 parts by weight of metal or alloy, 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of niobium, 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of yttrium, 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of tantalum, 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of a mixture of niobium and yttrium, 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of a mixture of yttrium and tantalum, 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of a mixture of niobium and tantalum, 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of a mixture of niobium, yttrium and tantalum, 0.05 to 3 parts by weight of nickel, 0.5 to 4 parts by weight of chromium or 0.05 to 3 parts by weight of a mixture of nickel and chromium; screen printing and drying insulating paste to separate, at least in part, said metallized layers from one another; and firing the composite so formed at a temperature of 1450.degree. C. to 1600.degree. C. in a reducing atmosphere; and thereafter screen printing and drying a noble metal or noble metal alloy paste on the metallized layer and firing the resulting composite at a temperature of 500.degree. C. to 900.degree. C. in an oxidative atmosphere.
- 2. The process according to claim 1 wherein multiple layers of metallized paste are screen printed on the ceramic green sheet each of said layers being separated from one another by an insulating paste.
- 3. The process according to claims 1 or 3 which comprises further screen printing and drying a noble metal or noble metal alloy paste on the metallized layer and firing the resulting composite at a temperature of 500.degree. to 900.degree. C. in an oxidative atmosphere.
- 4. A process for producing a ceramic body having a metallized layer which comprises tape-casting a ceramic slurry to form a ceramic green sheet, screen printing and drying at least one metallizing paste comprising one or more of a silicide of transition metals selected from the elements consisting of Groups V and VI of the periodic table; one or more of a boride of lanthanum and a boride of a transition metal selected from Groups IV, V and VI of the periodic table; or a high melting point metal or alloy unmelted at a firing temperature of the ceramic substrate and containing, based on 100 parts by weight of metal or alloy, 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of niobium, 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of yttrium, 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of tantalum, 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of a mixture of niobium and yttrium 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of a mixture of yttrium and tantalum, 0.5-25 parts by weight of a mixture of niobium and tantalum, 0.5-25 parts by weight of a mixture of niobium, yttrium and tantalum, 0.05 to 3 parts by weight of nickel, 0.5 to 4 parts by weight of chromium or 0.05 to 3 parts by weight of a mixture of nickel and chromium and firing the composite so formed at a temperature of 1450.degree. C. to 1600.degree. C. in a reducing atmosphere.
