The application of the Lanxide ceramic matrix composite processing technology to the nitridation of aluminum alloys has been studied. The process involves the directed nitridation reaction of a molten aluminum alloy in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere to yield an AIN/Al matrix material. The nitridation reaction can be directed through inert ceramic filler materials to produce a wide variety of composites. By changing the reaction conditions, the progress of the reaction can be altered to tailor the microstructures and physical properties of the resulting composites. Process information and initial composite property data are presented.
