Abstract (en)

Described herein is a method for sintering a composite material including at least one metal phase and at least one ceramic phase. The method comprises the following steps: - providing the at least one metal phase in the form of powders of pre-alloyed metal material; - providing the at least one ceramic phase in the form of powders of ceramic material; - mixing the powders of the at least one metal phase and of the at least one ceramic phase; and - sintering the mixed powders for a time interval of between 10 -4 s and 60 s, wherein one or more metal phases have a coefficient of thermal expansion of between 0 K -1 and 6·10 -6 K -1 .
