Cermet materials prepared by combustion synthesis and metal infiltration

Patent Holt, Joseph B. ; Dunmead, Stephen D. ; Halverson, Danny C. ; Landingham, Richard L.

Ceramic-metal composites (cermets) are made by a combination of self-propagating high temperature combustion synthesis and molten metal infiltration. Solid-gas, solid-solid and solid-liquid reactions of a powder compact produce a porous ceramic body which is infiltrated by molten metal to produce a composite body of higher density. AlN-Al and many other materials can be produced.
