Less-conventional processing techniques are also used to make ceramic matrix composites. Siliconized silicon carbide, for example, is made by liquid infiltration.16,17 A compact of SiC particles is formed and then presintered, or reaction bonded. Liquid silicon is then infiltrated into the structure. Many different microstructures of siliconized silicon carbide can be made in this manner. The volume fraction of SiC particles can be as high as 90vol.%. Bimodal structures have also been made by this technique. These materials are used for radiant heaters and heat exchangers.17,19...
