Method of modifying ceramic composite bodies by a post-treatment process and articles produced thereby

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel method of manufacturing a composite body, such as a ZrB2-ZrC-Zr composite body, by utilizing a post-treatment technique which may improve the oxidation resistance of the composite body. Moreover, the invention relates to novel products made according to the process. The novel process modifies at least a portion of a composite body by exposing said body to a source of second metal.
