Metal-ceramic composites
A dispersion of from about 10 volume percent to about 80 volume percent of in-situ precipitated ceramic particles selected from the group consisting of borides, carbides, nitrides, silicides, selenides, sulfides, germanides, and combinations thereof is described, having a size range of from about 0.01 to about 5 microns, in a metal matrix selected from the group consisting of aluminum, gallium, nickel, titanium, copper, vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, silicon, germanium, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, magnesium, lead, zinc, tin, and combinations thereof, produced by reacting ceramic forming constituents in the presence of a metal in which said constituents are more soluble than said ceramic, wherein said ceramic particles are in direct contact with said metal matrix.
