The present invention relates to ceramic bodies suitable for use in high temperature applications such as molten metal filters and kiln furniture. The ceramic bodies are formed from partially stabilized zirconia and are characterized by the presence of from about 12% to about 80% by weight zirconia in a monoclinic phase and the balance essentially in a cubic phase at room temperature. The ceramic bodies possess an excellent combination of physical properties including high temperature strength and thermal shock resistance. The invention also relates to the process for forming the ceramic bodies and the thixotropic ceramic slurry used therein.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 21, 1990 and granted January 16, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 21, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 21, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
