Abstract

Ceramic alloys or solid solutions are formed by dispersing a powdery metal alloy or intimate mixture of two alloying metals in a precarbonaceous polymer such as polyacrylonitrile, forming the mixture into a molded article such as fibers, and heating the molded articles at a temperature and in a pyrolyzation atmosphere sufficient to carbonize the polymer and cause reaction of the metals with carbon and/or the pyrolyzation gas.
