Abstract
The invention concerns a method for making thin films in metal/ceramic composite, characterized in that it consists in: a) preparing a suspension (S) in an organic solvent from a substantially homogeneous mixture of ceramic reinforcements of metal particles, a binder, a plasticizing agent and an organic dispersant, the metal particles constituting at least 5 wt. % of the suspension; b) tape casting the suspension (S) to form a thing film (B), then culminating organic compounds contained in the binder and the plasticizing agent from said thin film; c) densifying the thin film from which said organic compounds have been removed in an oven.
