Abstract
Abstract A composite body has a pressed mix base or layer and a thin facing layer formed by casting and bonded to the base and having desired physical properities different from those of the base. This body has utility as a semiconductor substrate with the cast layer providing a substantially defect-free surface for microcircuit formation, or as a cutting tool or the like with the cast layer constituting the hard wear-resistant cutting surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A composite body comprising a first layer of an alumina ceramic made by tape casting, and a second layer of an alumina ceramic having a composition substantially identical to said first layer, second layer being formed from a compressed powdered alumina, the thickness of said first layer being uniform and substantially less than the thickness of said second layer, said first and second layers being permanently bonded together by simultaneously compressing said first layer against and compacting the powder comprising said second layer to form a compressed composite body and sintering.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A composite body comprising a first layer of an alumina ceramic made by tape casting, and a second layer of an alumina ceramic having a composition substantially identical to said first layer, second layer being formed from a compressed powdered alumina, the thickness of said first layer being uniform and substantially less than the thickness of said second layer, said first and second layers being permanently bonded together by simultaneously compressing said first layer against and compacting the powder comprising said second layer to form a compressed composite body and sintering.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The body according to claim 1, said first layer having a thickness of 0.001 to 0.025 inches.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
A composite body comprising a first layer composed of a first substance made by tape casting, and a second layer composed of a second substance, said second substance being a compressed powder, the thickness of said first layer being uniform and substantially less than the thickness of said second layer, said first and second layers being permanently bonded together by simultaneously compressing said first layer against and compacting the powder comprising said second layer to form a compressed composite body and sintering, wherein said first and second layers are different compositions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
91 words
A composite body comprising a first layer composed of a first substance made by tape casting, and a second layer composed of a second substance, said second substance being a compressed powder, the thickness of said first layer being uniform and substantially less than the thickness of said second layer, said first and second layers being permanently bonded together by simultaneously compressing said first layer against and compacting the powder comprising said second layer to form a compressed composite body and sintering, wherein said first and second layers are different compositions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The body according to claim 3 in which said first substance comprises a mixture of silver and cadmium oxide, said second substance comprising silver.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The body according to claim 3 in which said first substance comprises a mixture of silicon nitride and titanium carbide, said second substance comprising silicon nitride.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The body according to claim 3 in which said first substance comprises a mixture of steel and titanium nitride, said second substance comprising steel.
