Displacive Compensation of Porosity
(DCP)
|
Displacive Compensation of Porosity (DCP), a novel method for fabricating
shaped monolithic ceramics, uses a chemical reaction to fill preformed, porous
ceramic material with a different ceramic compound, resulting in super-dense
material. This process works at relatively low temperatures and therefore, is
more economical. The resulting compound can be molded into complex shapes and
offers improved protection at significantly lower weight.
