Abstract
An improved method of manufacturing a composite structure of ceramic material reinforced by refractory fibers is disclosed, whereby the fibers are first embedded in a slip of the ceramic material containing a synthetic resin with good ceramic and fiber wetting properties and a solvent of said resin, the liquid phase is thereafter eliminated from the slip by drying, the synthetic resin is driven from the formed structure by heating, and the fiber-reinforced ceramic material is sintered. The improvement consists in avoiding the use of costly aluminum-nitride powder by initially incorporating an aluminum powder in the slip along with the resin solvent and nitriding the powder in the structure, after drying and firing, but before sintering.
