Internal structural characteristics

key processing methods

frictional and wear behavior as well as anti-impacting behavior of 3D network ceramic/metal composites were described. The wear resistance of the composites is improved as a result of 3D network ceramics restraining plastic deformation and high temperature softening of the matrix as well as serious three-body wear. Meanwhile

anti-impacting behavior of the composites is enhanced through dispersing and transferring the load imposed on point or plate spacially. In addition

the composites exhibit more damage tolerance

which is attributed to structural interlocking effects resulting from 3D double continuous structures

decreasing the failure tendency of the composites.
