Abstract

The invention relates to a body made of ceramic materials, having a basic metallization made of at least one electrically conductive material, such as tungsten/glass or molybdenum/glass compounds and an adhesive, electrically conductive and corrosion-resistant coating. In order to improve energy losses, which is to say to increase the Q-factor, it is proposed that the coating comprises/carries at least one functional layer made of a metal or several metals, having lower specific electrical resistance than the electrically conductive material and the remaining constituents of the coating.

Claims (19)

1 - 14 . (canceled)

15 . A body comprising a ceramic substances with a base metallization consisting of at least one electrically conductive material, such as tungsten-glass or molybdenum-glass compounds, for example, and an adhesive, electrically conductive and corrosion-resistant coating, wherein the coating comprises at least one functional layer consisting of a metal or a plurality of metals with an electrical resistivity which is lower than that of the electrically conductive material and the remaining constituents of the coating.

16 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the coating comprises at least two layers.

17 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the base metallization contains at least one refractory metal.

18 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the base metallization comprises tungsten-glass or molybdenum-glass compounds.

19 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the coating comprises a nickel and a gold layer.

20 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein at least one functional layer is arranged between the layers of the coating.

21 . The body as claimed claim 15 , wherein the nickel layer contained in the coating has a thickness of 0.5-2 μm.

22 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the nickel layer contained in the coating has a resistivity of from 4 to 10*10 −8 ohm*m.

23 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the functional layer consisting of a metal with a low electrical resistivity is a copper layer.

24 . The body as claimed in claim 23 , wherein the copper layer has a thickness of from 1-10 μm.

25 . The body as claimed in claim 23 , wherein the copper layer has a resistivity of from 1.0 to 2.6*10 −8 ohm*m.

26 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the ceramic substance comprises aluminum oxide.

27 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the base metallization is dispensed with and the coating performs the function thereof.

28 . A coil former or inductor comprising a body as claimed in claim 15 .

29 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the base metallization comprises at least one of tungsten or molybdenum.

30 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the nickel layer contained in the coating has a resistivity of from 7*10 −8 ohm*m.

25 . The body as claimed in claim 23 , wherein the copper layer has a resistivity of from 1.8*10 −8 ohm*m.

26 . The body as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the ceramic substance comprises 96% aluminum oxide.
