A method is described for sintering of highly loaded ({le} 20 vol%) alumina matrix/silicon carbide whisker or platelet composites to closed porosity. The method uses controlled heterogeneous precipitation in a suspension of whiskers or platelets. The suspension-coated particles are calcined to produce a free-flowing composite powder which can be hot-pressed or free-sintered to high density. The results of consolidation and mechanical property testing are reported.
