An overview is given of a new process that has been used successfully to make numerous ceramic/metal composite materials by directed oxidation of molten metallic precursors. As an example, the formation of A12O3/A1 composites from Al is discussed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
