Abstract
The development of infiltrated porous ceramics as specialty structural materials is an area of technological promise in the engineering of materials. The attractive features of selected ceramics-e.g. hardness, oxidation resistance-can be exploited without the necessity of achieving full density in the solid. The direct production of complex geometries, through the cold-pressing and sintering of powders, or related techniques, is complemented by relatively facile machining. Within certain limits, the strength levels of the solids can approach that of the fully dense product when the porous elements are fully infiltrated by the proper infiltrant.
