Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a composite formed of a mixture of ceramic particles and at least two metallic components adhered together with a glassy phase. A first of the metallic components, in particle form, enhances the flow characteristics of the mixture where the second metallic component and the glass are in the molten condition. The final composite is a continuous phase of the second metallic component having particles of the first metallic component and glass coated ceramic particles distributed therein.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A composite material, comprising: from about 20 to about 60 volume % of metallic material; from an effective amount up to about 10 volume % of glass; and the balance essentially ceramic particles; said glass coating said ceramic particles and bonding to both said metallic material and said ceramic particles; said metallic material comprising first and second metal or alloy components, said first metal or alloy component comprising from about 5 to about 30 volume % of metallic particles for enhancing the flow characteristics of said composite material, and said second metal or alloy component comprising the remainder of metallic material and forming a continuous phase through said composite material with said metallic particles and the glass coated ceramic particles distributed therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A composite material, comprising: from about 20 to about 60 volume % of metallic material; from an effective amount up to about 10 volume % of glass; and the balance essentially ceramic particles; said glass coating said ceramic particles and bonding to both said metallic material and said ceramic particles; said metallic material comprising first and second metal or alloy components, said first metal or alloy component comprising from about 5 to about 30 volume % of metallic particles for enhancing the flow characteristics of said composite material, and said second metal or alloy component comprising the remainder of metallic material and forming a continuous phase through said composite material with said metallic particles and the glass coated ceramic particles distributed therein.
