Abstract

Preliminary results are decribed on synthesis of ceramic-metal composites with a functional gradient material character utilizing infiltration of a porous metallic matrix with ceramic precursors and thermal processing by MW-heating. Infiltration of the metal matrix with a ceramic precursor facilitates bonding between metal and ceramic. By repeated infiltration and decomposition, complete filling of the pores with a ceramic phase is achieved.

Using SiC as MW absorbing material in a sandwich-like configuration, heating of the metal-ceramic composite in a strong MW field is possible. Temperatures of apr. 1000°C were achieved with this method.
