Abstract
The invention relates to a composite material, manufactured by dynamic densification of an amount of granular or powdered relatively brittle material or a mixture of one or more of such materials, wherein a continuous porous product is obtained, whereafter, by infiltration thereof with a second material, the brittle material particles are embedded in a continuous network of the second material. The invention further relates to a composite comprising ceramic particles embedded in a continuous matrix of a second material, obtainable by a method according to the invention, and to products manufactured from such composite.
Claims6
A composite material having a microstructure of ceramic material having brittle fracture surfaces separated from each other by narrow channels, jointly forming a fine-mesh network of narrow channels, which channels are filled with a second material, which forms a continuous matrix, wherein the microstructure comprises substantially no closed porosity.
