Max-based Metal Matrix Composites
Disclosed are compositions comprising a MAX phase material having the formula Mn+1AXn, wherein M is an early transition metal, A is an A-group element, X one or both of C and N, and n=1-3, wherein the MAX phase material defines a plurality of pores; and, a metal component comprising a low melting point metal, wherein the metal occupies at least some of the pores. Also disclosed are method comprising providing a porous green body comprising a particulate material having the formula Mn+1AXn, wherein M is an early transition metal, A is an A-group element, X one or both of C and N, and n=1-3; and, infiltrating at least some of the pores of the green body with a low melting point metal, thereby providing a composite material.
