A non-wetting and non-reactive layer of a non-wettable powder formed on part, but not all, of the surface of a shaped ceramic body limits infiltration of metal to the region(s) where there is no layer of the non-wettable powder and thereby limits the formation of undesirable regions of excess metal on the surface of, and undesirable phases near the surface within, the resultant ceramic-metal composite article . |
