Abstract

Compositing routes are reviewed for the fabricaiton of metal and metalceramic matrices combined with ceramic reinforcements and/or ductilizing phases. The important role of micromechanics in elucidating microstructural design principles to guide the processing “pathways” is emphasized. Specific processing techniques are described including incorporation of particles and fibers into melts, melt infiltration into preforms, powder metallurgy and melt oxidation.
