Abstract
A method of making a consolidated, reinforced composite member from a matrix mixture including a consolidation shrinkable discontinuous ceramic material, for example ceramic particles, and a selected amount of a particulate inorganic filler which will exhibit net expansion relative to the discontinuous material, the mixture being interspersed about reinforcing fibers. Subsequent consolidation of a preform of such materials can be conducted substantially at ambient pressure, without application of additional pressure, to provide an improved reinforced composite article.
