Method for producing composite ceramic structures

摘要

A method for producing a self-supporting ceramic composite body which comprises preparing a polycrystalline material as the oxidation reaction product of a parent metal with a vapor-phase oxidant, comminuting the resulting material to a particulate, forming a permeable mass of said particulate as filler, and infiltrating said particulate with an oxidation reaction product of a parent metal with a vapor-phase oxidant, thereby forming said ceramic composite body.
