ABSTRACT:
A ceramic insulator and a method for the production thereof are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of pressing ceramic batch around a contoured arbor having at least two longitudinally extending fins to form an outer piece having a bore with grooves therein corresponding to the fins, removing the arbor from and contouring the piece to a desired external shape, pressing ceramic batch to form an inner piece, and contouring the inner piece to fit within the bore of the outer piece. The inner piece is then positioned within the bore of the outer piece and both pieces are fired whereby the insulator is produced in which the contoured surface of the inner piece closes the grooves in the bore of the outer piece to form slots extending longitudinally within the ceramic insulator. Also disclosed is a method which involves firing the inner piece, positioning the fired inner piece within the bore of the unfired outer piece, and then firing both pieces together. A ceramic insulator according to the invention is useful as a support for an oxygen sensor which can be placed in the exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine and used to measure oxygen content thereof to enable control of the air-fuel ratio at which the engine is operated so that, for example, emissions can be minimized.
