Abstract

The present invention provides a method for preparing a ceramic mixed-oxide of at least two metals including mixing an alloy with a ceramic oxide. The alloy including a metal selected from the group consisting of aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, silicon, titanium, yttrium, and zirconium. The alloy also includes an element that is to be present in the ceramic mixed-oxide. The element is different from the metal and is selected from the group consisting of aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, a combination of magnesium and silicon, silicon, titanium, yttrium, and zirconium. The ceramic oxide includes a metal that is to be present in the ceramic mixed oxide. The alloy and ceramic oxide are co-milled. The mixed and co-milled alloy and ceramic oxide are reaction-sintered, thereby oxidizing the metal and element of the alloy to produce the ceramic mixed-oxide.
