Abstract

A composite comprised of a continuous matrix phase having a ceramic filler phase distributed therein is produced by shaping a mixture of ceramic filler and a solid constituent of the matrix into a compact and infiltrating the compact with a molten constituent of the matrix which combines with the solid constituent by dissolution and/or diffusion to produce the matrix in situ.
