A dielectric ceramic composition and a multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising the same includes a barium titanate (BaTiO.sub.3)-based base material main ingredient and an accessory ingredient, and the accessory ingredient includes a third trivalent lanthanide rare earth element A and terbium (Tb) as rare earth elements, and a molar ratio (Tb/A) of a content of terbium (Tb) to the content of the trivalent lanthanide rare earth element A satisfies 0.15≤Tb/A<0.50.

Method for manufacturing a composite material part includes injecting a slurry containing a refractory ceramic particle powder into a fibrous texture, draining the liquid from the slurry that passed through the fibrous texture and retaining the refractory ceramic particle powder inside said texture so as to obtain a fibrous preform loaded with refractory ceramic particles, and demoulding of the fibrous preform. The method includes, after demoulding the fibrous preform, checking the compliance of the demoulded fibrous preform. If the preform is noncompliant, the method also includes, before a sintering, immersing the demoulded fibrous preform in a bath of a liquid suitable for decompacting the refractory ceramic particles present in the fibrous preform, and additionally injecting a slurry containing a refractory ceramic particle powder into the fibrous preform present in the mould cavity.

The invention concerns a batch for the production of a refractory product, a process for the production of a refractory product, a refractory product as well as the use of a refractory product.

A method may include depositing a sacrificial support material on or adjacent to a build surface. The sacrificial support material may be configured to support a continuous reinforcement material during an additive manufacturing technique. The method also may include extruding the continuous reinforcement material from an additive manufacturing device such that at least a portion of the continuous reinforcement material contacts and is supported by the sacrificial support material; and removing the sacrificial support material to result in a feature defined at least in part by the continuous reinforcement material at the absence of sacrificial support material.

Disclosed is a refractory product for casting of steel, which is capable of forming a dense surface layer which is high in terms of a slag infiltration suppressing ability and strong, in a surface region thereof efficiently or sufficiently or in an optimum state. The refractory product contains 1 mass % or more of free carbon, and 2 mass % to 15 mass % of an aluminum component as metal, with the remainder comprising a refractory material as a main composition, wherein the refractory product has a permeability of 1×10.sup.−16 m.sup.2 to 15×10.sup.−16m.sup.2.

The present invention relates to a collection apparatus for collecting particulate matter generated due to friction between a rotor and a brake pad in a brake system of a transport facility, the collection apparatus including a first collector configured to surround a portion of an outer side surface of the rotor, an upper collector configured to surround a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the rotor, and a second collector configured to surround a portion of an inner side surface of the rotor, wherein the first collector and the second collector are made of porous ceramic foam. According to the present invention, particulate matter generated due to friction between a rotor and a brake pad in a brake system of a transport facility can be efficiently collected, and by reducing the amount of particulate matter generated when braking a transport facility, air pollution can be prevented.
