The principal difficulty in fabricating 3‐3 composites is in controlling the connectivity and spatial distribution of two or more component phases. Fabrication of 3‐3 mulliteAl or aluminaAl composites via fused depostion (FD) has several inherent advantages over some of the other approaches for processing similar composites. Using FD processes not only can the shape or macrostructure of the part be controlled via CAD, but also the microstructure. This approach can help to design and develop an optimal microstructure for any specific application.
