Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for producing a self-supporting ceramic structure comprising an oxidation reaction product of a parent metal and a vapor-phase oxidant characterized by a refined microstructure attributable to the addition of one or more process modifiers relative to substantially the same oxidation reaction product produced without a process modifier.
Abstract:
A method of producing a composite comprising a self-supporting polycrystalline material obtained by oxidation reaction of a molten parent metal (2) with a vapor-phase oxidant comprising infiltrating a filler (3) exhibiting inter-particle pore volume with a parent metal (2) under conditions which control the respective rates of said metal infiltration and said oxidation reaction.
