Role of Cation Diffusion on High Temperature Oxidation of Metal Dispersed Ceramic Matrix Composites

Diffusion of cations in high-temperature oxidation of ceramic matrix composites dispersed with metallic particles is discussed in this paper. Inward diffusion of oxygen passing though oxidized zone gives volume expansion of metallic dispersoid by oxidation and generates stress in the matrix during h
