FREMGANGSMAATE FOR FREMSTILLING AV EN FIBERFORSTERKET KERAMISK KOMPOSITT, SAMT FORLOEPERSTRUKTUR FOR ANVENDELSE VED FREMGANGSMAATEN.

摘要

A process for the production of a fibre-reinforced ceramic composite by forming a precursor structure comprising a matrix of a composition comprising particulate ceramic material, liquid diluent and organic binder and fibres within the matrix, in which the fibres are formed from a composition comprising particulate ceramic material, liquid diluent and organic binder, and heating the precursor structure in order to evaporate the liquid diluent, decompose the organic binder and sinter the particles of ceramic material in both the matrix and the fibres. Also, a precursor structure as described. The ceramic composite may have a density of 95% or more of the maximum theoretical density.
