Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel method of manufacturing a composite body, such as a ZrB.sub.2 --ZrC--Zr composite body, by utilizing a post-treatment technique which may improve the oxidation resistance of the composite body. Moreover, the invention relates to novel products made according to the process. The novel process modifies at least a portion of a composite body by exposing said body to a source of second metal.
