ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a self-supporting ceramic composite body having therein at least one cavity which inversely replicates the geometry of a positive mold of parent metal. The method, includes embedding the mold of parent metal within a conformable bed of filler to provide there in a cavity shaped and filled by the mold. The assembly is heated to melt the parent metal mold, e.g., an aluminum parent metal mold, and contacted with an oxidant to oxidize the molten parent metal to form a polycrystalline material which grows through the surrounding bed of filler, the molten metal being drawn through the growing polycrystalline material to be oxidized at the interface between the oxidant and previously formed oxidation reaction product whereby the cavity formerly filled by the mold of parent metal is eventually evacuated of the metal. There remains behind a cavity whose shape inversely replicates the original shape of the mold. The method provides ceramic composite articles having therein at least one cavity inversely replicating the shape of the mold which supplied the parent metal for oxidation.
