An alumina-ceramic-based electrical insulator, to a method for producing the insulator, and to a vacuum tube includes the insulator. The electrical insulator is for insulating two electrodes of a vacuum tube through which a charged particle beam flows, the electrical insulator being formed of an alumina-based ceramic. The ceramic comprises a vitreous phase of between 2% and 8% by weight into which at least one metal oxide is diffused from a face of the electrical insulator.

Titanium dioxide is used as an emissivity enhancer in high emissivity coating compositions. The titanium dioxide increases the emissivity of the high emissivity coating compositions. In certain embodiments, titanium dioxide is recovered from industrial waste sources such as catalyst containing waste streams from olefin polymerization processes or re-based sources. Titanium dioxide emissivity enhancers recovered from industrial waste sources contribute favorably to the cost of manufacturing high emissivity coating compositions containing such enhancers.

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a thermocouple device fabricated from a composite mixture of lanthanum chromite and refractory oxide materials optimized for high temperature applications. The thermocouple can be manufactured as a monolithic entity or seamlessly incorporated into a manufactured article while the article is being fabricated. In another aspect, a plurality of discrete layers of the composite mixture can be applied to form the thermocouple, or the composite mixture can be continuously graded to achieve desired performance properties. In an alternative aspect, the disclosed thermocouple can be a low-cost replacement for solid-state thermocouples reliant on precious metal compositions. In a further aspect, the disclosure relates to methods of manufacturing a composite ceramic oxide thermocouple using a direct ink-writing or tape-casting process. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

In examples, a method for forming a high temperature coating includes applying a barrier coat formulation on a substrate. The barrier coat formulation includes mono-aluminum phosphate; boron carbide; and chromium or a chromium compound. The method further includes heat treating the barrier coat formulation to form an oxidation-resistant coating layer, wherein a melting point of the oxidation-resistant coating layer is greater than about 800 degrees Celsius ( C.).
