Abstract

A technique of preparation of novel nanocrystalline composites by infiltration of a liquid metal under high-pressure is presented. A porous nanocrystalline body is obtained by compacting nanosized powder of a high-hardness ceramic material under the pressure of 2-8 GPa. The molten metal penetrates into the open pores and crystallizes there upon cooling. As a result the second nano-phase is obtained. Practical aspects of the technique and some properties of the composites are discussed.
