Method for incorporating refractory metal element into ceramic matrix composite

摘要

A method of forming a ceramic matrix composite are described herein. The method may include infiltrating a fiber preform with a solution comprising a refractory precursor in solution with a solvent. The refractory precursor may include a compound having at least one refractory metal element. The method may further include removing the solvent from the fiber preform, and reducing the refractory precursor to form a refractory metal that includes the refractory metal element.
