example 1

[0044] The cylinder of the sealed compartment of the belt-shaped ultra-high pressure furnace vessel can be made by mixing talc powder, mullite powder and sodium silicate dissolved in water as a binder in a mixer. The mixture may include 75% by weight talc, 15% mullite and 10% sodium silicate solution, the latter having a solids content of about 45% by weight.

[0045] When a homogeneous mixture of granules is obtained, the mixture is packed into a deformable cylindrical mold with a central rod and compacted with an isopress of 150 MPa. The roughly compacted tube was fired at 800°C for six hours and then cooled and machined to final dimensions.

[0046] The resulting high-density, high-strength cylinders can be used as external insulation and pressure transmission media in a uniaxial ultra-high pressure generation facility for the production of synthetic diamond at 5.7GPa, 1300°C .

[0048] The cylinder of the sealed compartment of the belt-shaped ultra-high pressure furnace can be made by mixing talcum powder, kyanite powder and sodium silicate dissolved in water as a binder in a mixer. The mixture may comprise 70% by weight talc, 20% kyanite and 10% sodium silicate solution, the latter having a solids content of about 45% by weight.

[0049] After obtaining a homogeneous mixture of granules, the mixture was packed into a deformable cylindrical mold with a central rod and compacted at an isostatic pressure of 180 MPa. The rough compacted tube is fired at 800°C for six hours and then cooled and machined to final dimensions.

[0050] The resulting high-density, high-strength cylinders can be used as internal insulation and pressure transmission media in uniaxial ultra-high pressure generation equipment for the production of synthetic diamond at 5.7GPa, 1300°C .

example 3

[0052] The cubic element of the airtight chamber of the cubic ultra-high pressure press can be made by mixing talc powder, kyanite powder, mullite powder and sodium silicate dissolved in water as a binder in a mixer. The mixture may include 65% by weight talc, 7% kyanite, 18% mullite and 10% sodium silicate solution, the latter having a solids content of about 45% by weight.

[0053] When a homogeneous mixture is obtained, the mixture is packed into a deformable cubic mold with a central rod and compacted at an isostatic pressure of 180 MPa. Roughly compacted cubes with cylindrical pores were cured at 200°C for six hours before being cooled and machined to their final size and shape.

[0054] The resulting high-density cubes can be used as combined insulation, pressure transmission and gasket media in a cube ultra-high pressure generation press system for the production of synthetic diamond at 5.7GPa, 1300°C . Properties of talc, kyanite, mullite and binder mixtures such as ...

Abstract

A containment element 10, 18 for a pressure containment assembly is disclosed which comprises mullite or a polymorph of mullite. It may also contain kaolinite, kyanite, talc, silica and a binder material. The element may be suitable for use as a pressure vessel in an ultra-high pressure, high temperature furnace such as used for the formation of superhard materials. The method of forming the element may comprise heat treating a compacted granular green body comprising mullite and talc such that the talc undergoes a phase change.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to containment elements for use in pressure vessel assemblies, particularly but not exclusively to containment elements for containing substances under ultra-high pressure conditions, pressure vessel assemblies incorporating the containment elements, and methods of manufacture and use thereof. Background technique [0002] US Patent No. 6,338,754 discloses a synthetic gasket material made from a combination of talc powder and garnet powder. [0003] The composite gasket material disclosed in US Patent No. 5,858,525 includes a large amount of clay mineral powder and a small amount of at least one hard material powder. Clay mineral powder has good lubricity and can flow in a high-pressure press. Hard material powder has a higher hardness than clay mineral powder, which can delay the flow rate of clay minerals and form a gasket seal during the pressing process in a high-pressure press. [0004] A mined mineral called pyrophy...
