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.
