Abstract

A process for producing a moldable ceramic mass which comprises preparing a suspension of ceramic material in a liquid vehicle, said ceramic material being comprised of a mixture of fibers and particulates of a ceramic selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, beryllium oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, titanium carbide, titanium diboride, zirconium carbide and zirconium diboride wherein the volume ratio of fibers to particulates ranges from about 1:5 to about 1:1, said ceramic material being present in an amount greater than about 4% by volume of the suspension, said fibers being present in an amount greater than about 2% by volume of the suspension, and removing a portion of the liquid vehicle in an amount sufficient to produce a moldable mass.
