Bonding aluminum to refractory materials
TL;DR: In this article, a body of metal is heated to an elevated temperature at a total pressure above the vapor pressure of aluminum but less than atmospheric pressure, and then contacted with a mass of refractory material and cooled, thereby forming a composite.

Fiber reinforced composite having an aluminum phosphate bonded matrix
Abstract: A method of forming fiber reinforced aluminum phosphate bonded material having improved strength at elevated temperatures. The method comprises the steps of: (a) preparing a slurry by blending alumina and alumina phosphate solution, the slurry being substantially free of silica; (b) providing a fiber substrate; (c) infiltrating the solution into the fiber substrate; and (d) curing the infiltrated substrate to form a fiber reinforced aluminum phosphate bonded composite material. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fiber substrate is made from SiC fibers.
