Abstract
An auxiliary combustion chamber for an internal combustion engine having a semi-spherical insulating ceramic liner and a heat resistant ceramic nozzle portion. The chamber has an outer metal member that is cast around the ceramic liner to impart significant compressive stress thereto. The metal member extends past the ceramic liner to form a cylindrical portion. The ceramic nozzle portion is affixed in this cylindrical portion by a shrinkage-fit.
