Multiphase eutectic ceramics

摘要

Solid material powders are described that include a first compound that is a non-oxide ceramic compound and a second compound that is a non-oxide, in relative amounts with respect to each other to form a eutectic mixture. The solid material has two discrete phases arranged in an interpenetrating three-dimensional microstructure. Methods for preparation of the solid materials, and shaped sintered articles from the materials, along with methods and techniques for their manufacture, are also disclosed.
