A unitary body includes magnesium and aluminum and at least one of iron, tungsten, nickel, or titanium and has a dissolution rate of at least 5 mg/(cm&#xb7;hr). The magnesium and aluminum and/or the iron, tungsten, nickel, and/or titanium can be present in discrete solid regions. The unitary body can include multiple sections having different compositions and different dissolution rates. The unitary body can be formed using solid-state powder metallurgy processes.

Dissolvable metal matrix composites

A skeletal composite material includes an internal skeleton structure surrounded by a matrix material. The skeleton structure and the matrix are made of different materials having different properties. It should be appreciated that the skeleton structure and the matrix can be made of any suitable material including metal, ceramic, carbon, polymers, or combinations of these materials. Preferably, the skeleton structure and/or the matrix are made primarily of metal or ceramic. The skeletal composite material can be made by filling a skeleton structure with powder, compacting the skeleton structure and powder to form a preform, and consolidating the preform to form the skeletal composite material.
