Description
Summary:The mechanical properties of a series of ceramic‐metal composites have been evaluated to determine their potential as implant materials. Hot pressing procedures were developed for the preparation of wire reinforced, calcium‐aluminate matrix composites. Hot pressed composites containing 5% tungsten fiber were found to exhibit flexural strength equivalent to that of bone, and approximately ten times that of the unreinforced ceramic.
