The present invention relates to golf clubs and particularly the invention relates to improved golf club heads which utilize composite materials in at least a portion therein. Potentially acceptable composite materials includes: metal matrix composite and/or ceramic matrix composite materials. The use of metal matrix or ceramic matrix composite materials in golf club heads result in improved clubs.

Composite golf club head

This invention relates to a method for producing a self-supporting ceramic structure comprising an oxidation reaction product of a parent metal and a vapor-phase oxidant characterized by an altered microstructure attributable to the addition of one or more process modifiers relative to substantially the same oxidation reaction product produced without a process modifier.

Self-supporting ceramic bodies with altered microstructures

The present invention relates to a novel process for forming metal matrix composite bodies. Particularly, a suitable matrix metal, typically in a molten state, is in contact with a suitable filler material or preform in the presence of a suitable reactive atmosphere in a sealed impermeable container, at least at some point during the process, which permits a reaction to occur between the reactive atmosphere and the molten matrix metal and/or filler material or preform and/or impermeable container, thereby causing molten matrix metal to infiltrate the filler material or preform due to, at least in part, the creation of a self-generated vacuum. Such self-generated vacuum infiltration occurs without the application of any external pressure or vacuum.
