1. A method for producing a thermal shock resistant, thermally insulating and compliant article comprising:
- (a) mixing a powder comprising a parent metal with at least one material selected from the group consisting of aluminum titanate and aluminum titanate precurors;
(b) adding a stabilization aid material;
(c) forming a green body from the mixture of step (b); and
(d) oxidizing and sintering said green body to form an article comprising aluminum titanate.

Abstract
The present invention relates, generally, to a self-supporting porous ceramic composite body and to methods for producing such articles to net or near net shape, which bodies exhibit superior thermal and mechanical properties. The invention also relates to the manufacture of ceramic-metal composite bodies which have ceramic articles incorporated therein.

18. A method for producing a porous ceramic composite which is to be at least partially surrounded by a cast metal, said method comprising:
-
(a) providing a powder comprising at least one parent metal selected from the group consisting of aluminum, titanium, and alloys thereof mixed with at least one material comprising a material selected from the group consisting of Al2 TiO5, Al2 O3, and TiO2 ; (b) adding at least one material comprising a material selected from the group consisting of chrome ore, ilmenite, SiO2 and MgO and Fe2 O3 ; (c) forming a green body using a method selected from the group consisting of hot pressing, slip casting, injection molding, dry pressing, sediment casting and extrusion; and (d) oxidizing and sintering said green body in air at a temperature of at least 1300°
C. for at least a time sufficient to form at least some oxidation reaction product from said parent metal in order to induce porosity and to provide integrity;
thereby forming said porous ceramic composite. - View Dependent Claims (19)
