31 TITLE METHOD OF MAKING SHAPED CERAMIC COMPOSITES WITH THE USE OF A BARRIER APPLICANT LANXIDE TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, LP INVENTORS Marc S. NEWKIRK - and - Robert C. KANINER ABSTRACT In the present invention, there is provided a method for producing a self-supporting ceramic body by the oxidation of a parent metal to form a polycrystalline ceramic material consisting essentially of the oxidation reaction product of said parent metal with an oxidant, including a vapor-phase oxidant, and optionally one or more metallic constituents. The method comprises the steps of providing at least a portion of said parent metal with a barrier means at least partially spaced from said parent metal for establishing at least one surface of the ceramic body, and heating said parent metal to a temperature above its melting point but below the melting point of the oxidation reaction product to form a body of molten metal. At that temperature, the molten metal is reacted with the oxidant, thus forming the oxidation reaction product. At least a portion of the oxidation reaction product is maintained in contact with and between the molten metal and oxidant to transport the molten metal through the oxidation reaction product toward the barrier means and into contact with the oxidant so that the oxidation reaction product continues to form at the interface between the oxidant and previously formed oxidation reaction product optionally leaving metal dispersed through the polycrystalline material. The reaction is continued to the barrier means to produce a ceramic body having the surface established by the barrier means. A composite is formed by superimposing a barrier onto a filler material, such as a preform, and infiltrating the filler with the polycrystalline ceramic matrix grown to the barrier means.
