Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 14,400. Ruzicka, C. July 12. Heating by electricity.-A resistance material for use in heating apparatus consists of a composition in which pieces or grains of a highly-conducting substance are distributed throughout a mass of material of comparatively low conductivity. The material of higher conductivity may consist of one or more of the residual products from the distillation of coal, wood, or heavy hydrocarbons, or of plumbago, graphite, carbon, or a metallic carbide, or a mixture of these. If in a soft or powdery condition, or if a mixture is used, the materials are powdered and mixed with a binder such as coal-tar, and are moulded, pressed, baked to effect vitrification, and granulated to the required size. The material of lower conductivity consists of a mixture of one or more substances of the plumbago, graphite, or metallic - carbide class with substances of the clay or stone class, or with a mineral substance such as cryolite or glazing sand. The ingredients are ground, and one or more metallic salts such as barium carbonate are added, unless already present. A binding-agent, such as coal tar or wood tar, gum solution, or a plastic paste such as clay mixed with water, is added, and the mixture is worked into a paste through which the grains or pieces are distributed. The compound is moulded and baked until vitrified and hardened. A suitable composition consists of plumbago 7 parts, clay 26 parts, feldspar 2 parts, and silicon carbide 10 parts, the latter being distributed, in granules of such a size as to pass a sieve of 17 meshes to the inch, through a matrix composed of the other three substances.
