(Prior Art) A β-alumina tube having a bottomed tubular body with one end closed and the other end opened includes a solid electrolyte tube for a sodium-sulfur battery, a solid electrolyte tube for sodium ion conduction in a thermoelectric conversion device, and SO X.
It is widely used for solid electrolyte tubes for sensors, etc., and as a firing method, it is possible to prevent deformation due to its own weight as much as possible
A method has been proposed in which the alumina tube base material is inverted on the baking table jig with the opening so that the bottom of the alumina tube material is upside, and then baked in the baking protection tube.

However, in the conventional method, the firing shrinkage of the β-alumina tube may be further large due to a defect in the squareness of the firing protection tube, a poor dimensional accuracy of the firing table jig on which the β-alumina tube is placed, and the like. When firing, the β-alumina tube may come into contact with the inner surface of the protective tube for firing, which causes magnesia components inside the protective tube to react on the surface of the β-alumina tube to produce a product of β-alumina crystals. Abnormal growth occurs, and as a result, the mechanical strength of β-alumina in the magnesia component-attached portion is lowered, and the ionic conductivity characteristics are also abnormal, and there is a problem in that the appearance is poor. Further, there is a problem that the surface of the β-alumina tube is scratched by coming into contact with the protective tube for firing during the shrinkage of the β-alumina tube, and there is no dimensional accuracy defect as described above. Even in such cases, the β-alumina tube and the protective tube may come into contact with each other due to impact during handling, shaking of the protective tube due to gas heat flow during firing, and the like, and similar problems occur.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.The β-alumina tube body (1) has one end closed and a bottom part (2).
Is formed, and the other end is in the shape of a cylinder with a bottom formed in the opening (3), the β-alumina tube substrate (1) is the baking jig (4) the opening (3) To the bottom
(2) is in the upside state
A protective tube for firing (5) is capped on (4) leaving a required gap between the β-alumina tube substrate (1) and the β-alumina tube substrate (1). In the state covered with (5), for example, it is fired at about 1620 ° C. in a gas kiln. At this time, the β
-Alumina tube substrate shrinks by 16-22%. The protective tube (5) for firing is, for example, a spinel ceramic material composed of a mixture of magnesia and α-alumina, and a β-alumina tube base material.
The gap between (1) and the protective tube for firing (5) is about 2 to 8 mm. Since Na 2 O vapor volatilizes from the β-alumina tube matrix (1) during firing, increasing the gap to more than 8 mm increases the amount of Na 2 O volatilized, and the β-alumina tube matrix (1) has a large composition. In order to cause a change, the thickness is preferably 8 mm or less. 2mm again
If the amount is smaller, the kiln packing operation becomes difficult, and the metal foil (6) and the protective tube for firing (5) easily come into contact with each other. Also, the inverted β-alumina tube substrate
The portion of the required length on the upper side that is closed by the bottom portion (2) of (1) is covered with a metal foil (6) made of a platinum group element,
The β-alumina tube base material (1) which is inverted on the baking table jig (4) is configured to be baked without directly contacting the baking protection tube (5). As the metal foil (6), a simple substance of a platinum group element metal such as platinum, rhodium, palladium or an alloy thereof is used, and a cap-shaped (see the figure) or cylindrical shape having a thickness of 0.1 mm or less is used. . 0.1
When the thickness is larger than mm, the weight of the metal foil (6) is β-
This adversely affects the contraction of the alumina tube base material (1), and deformed β-alumina is likely to be generated at the time of an unbalanced load, so that a β-alumina tube having high dimensional accuracy cannot be obtained with a high yield. The weight of the metal foil (6) is preferably 15 g / cm 2 or less per unit load cross-sectional area of the β-alumina tube substrate (1).
Also, it is natural to make the metal foil (6) thicker than necessary.
Since the cost of (6) is high and it is not economical, the metal foil (6)
It is practical that the thickness is 0.01 to 0.1 mm. Also,
This metal foil (6) is a β-alumina tube substrate (1) protective tube for firing.
(5) is most likely to come into contact with the part, that is, the part that is attached to the part over the required length in the vicinity of the bottom part (2),
Its length shall cover at least 4% or more of the length of the axial straight portion of the β-alumina tube body (1). The reason is that if it is less than 4%, the metal foil (6) may shift due to contact resistance during firing and the β-alumina tube (1) may come into direct contact with the firing protection tube (5). is there.

Thus, in the present invention, of the β-alumina tube substrate (1) inverted on the baking table jig (4), the β-alumina tube substrate (1) on the bottom (2) side which is the upper side during firing (1) ) The β-alumina tube base material (1) is provided with a metal foil (6) attached to a portion extending over at least 4% of the length of the axial straight portion.
Since the firing is performed while surely preventing direct contact with the inner surface of the firing protection tube (5), even if the inverted β-alumina tube substrate (1) is inclined, it is as in the conventional case. No reaction product such as magnesia component is generated on the surface of the baked β-alumina tube, and no defective appearance occurs.

(Example) An inner diameter of 30 mm, a length of 240 mm, and a thickness of 1.6 mm. A bottomed cylindrical β-alumina tube used for a sodium-sulfur battery. 30
When 500 pieces of cap-shaped platinum foil were covered and 500 pieces were baked under the same baking conditions as in the conventional case, none of them had a poor appearance. On the other hand, when fired without using platinum foil, about 80% (400 out of 500) had a poor appearance due to contact marks on the surface, and the excellent effect of the present invention It could be confirmed.

(Effects of the Invention) As is apparent from the above description, in the present invention,
A product with an excellent appearance without traces due to the generation of reaction products on the surface of the β-alumina tube due to contact with the protective tube for firing can be obtained at a high yield rate. Even if there is some shaking of the firing protection tube due to the heat flow or there is a dimensional error in the firing protection tube or the baking table jig, the metal foil made of the platinum group element used can be repeatedly used. Since it can be used, there is an advantage in terms of cost.
