PCT No. PCT/US91/04950 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 11, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 11, 1993 PCT Filed Jul. 12, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/00939 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 23, 1992.This invention relates generally to a novel method for removing metal from a formed self-supporting body. A self-supporting body is made by reactively infiltrating a molten parent metal into a bed or mass containing a boron donor material and a carbon donor material (e.g., boron carbide) and/or a boron donor material and a nitrogen donor material (e.g., boron nitride) and, optionally, one or more inert fillers. Once the self-supporting body is formed, it is then subjected to appropriate conditions which causes metallic constituent contained in the self-supporting body to be at least partially removed.
