Abstract
The reactions that take place during the formation of ceramic matrix composites that are based on α-Al 2O 3–(Al–Si) 3Ti interpenetrating networks were analysed. A reactive preform was pressure infiltrated with an Al–Si alloy. After pressure infiltration, the composite did not react in a full manner and further thermal annealing was required. The reduction of TiO 2 by the liquid Al–Si alloy results in the formation of (Al-Si) 3Ti (Al 60Si 12Ti 28). The formation of (Al–Si) 3Ti is governed by the consumption of TiO that is formed as an intermediate phase during the reduction of TiO 2.
