Dach, Alexander Sebastian
Juling, Dieter
Abrégé
The invention relates to an insert for connecting an electric connection to a wall (10), having a pin (1) with a shaft (4), which has a first connection means (5), and an electrically conductive ring (2) with a through-opening (6) for receiving the pin (1), wherein the shaft (4) of the received pin (1) protrudes out of a contact surface (11) of the ring (2). For protection purposes while working, for example while painting, the insert comprises a protective cap (20, 20') with a holding portion (21, 21') comprising a second connection means (26), which can be connected to the first connection means (5) of the pin (1), and a flange section (22, 22') which rests against the contact surface (11) of the ring (2) when the protective cap (20, 20') is connected.
Compositions for and methods of making ceramics and ceramic composites are provided. A mixture of starting materials is introduced into a reactor chamber. The starting materials comprise a precursor material and a ceramic support material. The precursor material comprises a boron source and a carbon source. The precursor material is carbothermically reacted with a nitrogen source in the reactor chamber in the presence of the ceramic support material to thereby form a ceramic material comprising a boron nitride and the ceramic support material. During the carbothermically reacting, the ceramic support material promotes permeation of the nitrogen source through the precursor material.
