• Ceramic-metal composites
• Processing
• Reactive processing
• Melt infiltration
• Additive manufacturing

Design and development of advanced materials for high performance applications and bringing these materials into use are the most challenging tasks of modern engineering. Ceramic-metal composites are natural candidates for these demanding applications due to their very attractive properties. Various processing techniques have been used to fabricate ceramic-metal composites. Melt infiltration is one of the preferred techniques to fabricate ceramic-metal composites. Ceramic-metal composites have been fabricated using non-reactive and reactive pressureless and pressure assisted processing techniques. Owing to the inability of current processing technology to fabricate complex shaped ceramic-metal parts with desired microstructures and properties, additive manufacturing is becoming an increasingly important processing approach. Additive manufacturing in combination with infiltration methods was used for the fabrication ceramic-metal composites with a complex geometry.
