A method of fabricating a ceramic material, the method including forming a ceramic material by performing a first chemical reaction at least between a first powder of an intermetallic compound and a reactive gas phase, a liquid phase being present around the grains of the first powder during the first chemical reaction, the liquid gas phase being obtained from a second powder of a metallic compound by melting the second powder or as a result of a second chemical reaction between at least one element of the first powder and at least one metallic element of the second powder, a working temperature being imposed during the formation of the ceramic material, which temperature is low enough to avoid melting the first powder.

Method of fabricating a ceramic from a chemical reaction

The invention relates to a method for preparing a material based on an aluminosilicate selected from barium aluminosilicate BAS, barium-strontium aluminosilicate BSAS, and strontium aluminosilicate SAS, said aluminosilicate consisting of aluminosilicate with a hexagonal structure, characterised in that it includes a single sintering step in which a mixture of powders of precursors of said aluminosilicate, including an aluminium hydroxide Al(OH)powder, are sintered by a hot-sintering technique with a pulsed electric field SPS; whereby a material based on an aluminosilicate, said aluminosilicate consisting of an aluminosilicate with a hexagonal structure is obtained. The material based on an aluminosilicate prepared by said method can be used in a method for preparing a composite material consisting of an aluminosilicate matrix reinforced by reinforcements made of metalloid or metal oxide.

A method is disclosed for coating, by means of a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, a part with a coating (PAO) for protecting against oxidation. The method enables the preparation of a refractory coating for protecting against oxidation, having a three-dimensional microstructure, which ensures the protection against oxidation at a high temperature, generally at a temperature above 1200&#xb0; C., for materials that are sensitive to oxidation, such as composite materials, and in particular carbon/carbon composite materials.
