Abstract
This invention is directed to a method for thermal pressing a glass-impregnated preform to create a composite body with a glass or glass-ceramic matrix. The method involves contacting the preform during pressing with members prepared from a material exhibiting significant impedance to heat flow in order to delay cooling of the preform during consolidation. The preferred preform consists of a stack of glass-impregnated plies having ceramic fibers and/or whiskers entrained therein.
