ABSTRACT:
A sintered ceramic-metal composite product has a ceramic matrix of polycrystalline ceramic in which a metal phase is dispersed for adding improved toughness. The metal phase has a higher melting point than the sintering temperature of the ceramic matrix and comprises at least one metal selected from the groups IVa, Va and VIa of the periodic table. The metal phase is dispersed intragranular within the grains of the ceramic matrix to realize nano-order dispersion of the metal phase which is responsible for remarkably improved toughness as well as strength. The ceramic-metal composite product is successfully fabricated by several unique methods utilizing the mixture of the ceramic and metal or metal oxide, hydride or alkoxide.
